B. caespitosa is a distinct species widely separated by its short calyx 
and small fruit from B. pumila, to which it bears a superficial resem- 
blance. It should probably be placed near B. pinnatifida, from which it 
is at once distinguished by its leaf-characters. 
In view of the very dry region in which Schlechters specimen 
was gathered, the caespitose habit is possibly not to be regarded as a 
character of specific value.

B. integrifolia appears to be most nearly related to B. cermwa, from 
which it is easily distinguished by its opposite, entire, acute leaves.
