The upper surface of the leaves is hairless, while the lower surface is covered in soft hairs. The flowers are borne at the ends of short side shoots, are 30–49 mm (1.2–1.9 inches) wide, and are sessile. This species has five sepals joined at the base, covered in silky hairs, and measuring 12–16 mm (0.47–0.63 inches) long. The five petals are yellow, around 15 mm (0.59 inches) long, with 20 to 35 stamens arranged around three hairless carpels. Flowering takes place in spring.
