Bu. insignis. It is the much stronger growing plant of the 
two, more compact, more hispid with strings: the leaves 
are much larger, five-partite in a palmated manner, the 
middle lobe the longest, but all of them bipinnatifid and 
wrinkled upon the surface. The peduncles are longer, 
the bracteas constantly two at the base of each germen, 
the petals are hispid; in other respects the two plants are 
so closely allied that it is needless to repeat the description 
already given at our tab. 2865. 
BLuMENBACHIA insignis may be thus characterized: gracilis, foliis 
quinquelobo-palmatis lobis inciso-pinnatifidis, floribus unibracteatis, 
petalis pubescentibus.
