Among other features this differs from В. panduriformis, Lindau, in the 
indumentum, the short and compact heads of flowers, the small fertile b ‘act, 
the large oblong (not small and linear) bracteoles, the longer lanceolate (not 
ovate-oblong) hinder lobe of the calyx, and the larger corollas. 
Mr. Swynnerton’s specimens being in fruit, the flowers have been described 
from that of Archdeacon Johnson.
