Species B. roseo Schreb. affinis et habitu conveniens, folis interdum 
rosulatim congestis interdum per caulis longitudinem zqualiter dispositis 
distincte limbatis. : 
In its general appearance this species seems to correspond 
more nearly with the European states of B. roseum than with 
those collected by Drummond in North America.
