Flowers: pink or purplish, about 1.7 mm in diameter and borne singly in the axil of the leaves, or somewhat in panicles.

Studies
Antioxidant: Effects of Irvingia grandifolia, Urena lobata and Carica papaya on the Oxidative Status of Normal Rabbits: With recognized therapeutic effects, the plants were studied for toxic side-effects. Results showed no evidence of oxidative damage on liver and pancreatic MDA levels on rabbits, and even seemd to provide protection against lipid peroxidation. Phytochemical / Antioxidant / Antimicrobial: The study of UL leaf extract isolated 3 compounds: kaempferol, quercetin and tiliroside which showed strong antimicrobial activity against E. coli, Bacilus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumonia. The study supports the traditional use of the plant for treatment of infectious diseases. Antidiarrheal: A study reports the antidiarrheal potential of L dealbata and Urena lobata used in the traditional medicine by the Naga tribes of India. Both plants showed significant inhibitory activity against castor oil-induced diarrhea and PGE2-induced intrafluid accumulation. Both showed significant reduction in gastrointestinal motility with no signs of toxicity. Results help explain it traditional use as an antidiarrheal agent. Antibacterial: A study of the methanol extract of UL showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. Immunomodulatory: A study of the methanolic extract of Urena lobata showed plagocytosis and intracellular killing potency of human neutrophils. Study concludes that U lobata possesses immunomodulatory property. Phytochemical / Imperatorin: Studies have previously yielded mangiferin and quercetin from the aerial parts of the plant. This study isolated imperatorin, a furocoumarin, from the roots.
