Flowers are large and prominent, and appear when the tree has shed its leaves. They are borne solitary or in bunches. The calyx is green, bell-shaped, with four lobes. Each petal is creamy-white toward thebase with stripe marks, and the colour becomes magenta toward the tip. The pistil of the flower is enclosed within the staminal tube and the ovary rests on the thalamus. Free-hand sections of T.S ovary were cut and seen through a foldscope. Ovary wall showed presence of trichomes.
