The bracts are elliptical, 1-1.5 cm long, with torn edges. The sepals are ovate, often with multiple divisions at the apex, and densely covered with yellow hairs on the outside. The petals are slightly longer than the sepals, nearly elliptical, and white with claws.
There are many stamens, and the carpels are numerous, attached to the protuberant receptacle. The aggregate fruit is spherical, up to 1.5 cm in diameter, and produces multiple red berry-like small drupes. It flowers from April to June and fruits from August to September.
The green fruit of Dahuapao in April turns red in July, then purple, and finally black when fully ripe. The Dahuapao plant is larger, bears more fruit, and the fruit is black when fully ripe.
