The outer petals are yellow with red highlights, 1.9-2 by 1.1-1.5 centimeters, and have wavy margins.

Its fruit are 4.2 by 2.5 centimeters and pale green with yellow spots when developing and dark purple when dry.

Its shiny, light brown seeds are 1.4 by 1.1 by 0.65 centimeters, and triangular in cross-section.
