The flowers are white, pink or violet, 2 to 3 cm in diameter, arranged in paniculate inflorescences, sometimes dichotomous. The fruit is a globular boll of approximately 5 mm length. It is commonly known as the "small butterfly" ("mariposita") or "small, white butterfly" ("mariposita blanca").[6][7][8]
