Owing to the remarkable degree of variation presented by the leaves, as 
isshowa by material recently received, I have been unable to retain the 
varieties В. ramosissima, Hook. f. & Thoms. in Journ. Linn. Soc. vol. ii. (1858) 
р. 15, and glabrata, Hook. f. MSS., which were founded on these characters, 
Lindley mentions this species as having a strong “ hireine smell.”
