The six stamens also are long, up to 4 centimeters, and each bears a large anther at the tip that drops large amounts of yellow pollen. The style may be more than 6 centimeters long. One flower may weigh over 2.5 grams.[9] The fruit is a fleshy capsule up to 6[7] to 12 centimeters long[10] containing red seeds
