Flowers 2.5–5 cm; hypanthium thick-walled, setose or not; sepals ovatelanceolate, 8–20 × (1–) 2–5 mm, margins pinnatifid, abaxial surfaces glabrous or pubescent, sessile or stipitate-glandular, sometimes eglandular; petals single, pink to rose-pink, sometimes white; carpels 10–110, styles free, stylar orifice 2–5 mm diam., rims 0.5–1 mm wide, hypanthial disc absent. Hips dull red to dark reddish purple, subglobose or cupulate, 5–13 (–18) × 5–16 (–18) mm, hard, leathery, pubescent or glabrous, setose, stipitate-glandular or eglandular; sepals persistent, erect.
