This has much the appearance of B. querimbensis, Klotzsch, a species 
without spiny bracts, and on this account placed in a different part of the 
genus. Besides this, it is easily distinguished from В, querimbensis, which 
has considerably larger, distinctly cordate outer calyx-lobes. The nearest 
affinity seems to be with В. grandicalyx, Lindau.
