The leaflets of this species are less falcate and of a firmer texture than those 

 of the preceding, of which it is perhaps only a variety, and which it resembles 

 in its subglahrous styles, shorter than those of the two following species. 



3. B. proliferum, Am. Pug. ix. 327 ; Wight, Illust. i. 1G2.— c.p.

 Wight, 1. c— c.p. 2419 (6 in parte). 



Hab. Central Province, at an elevation of 4000 to 7000 feet. 



Besides the difference of habit, the longer pilose styles distinguish this from 

 the two preceding species. 



4. B. nervifolium, Thw. ; caule simplici ; foliolis circiter 12-jugi8, 



obovato-oblongis, obtuse apiculatis ; venis primariis paucis divaricatis, 

 subtus prominehtibus ; pedicellis floribus brevioribus ; stylis lougis, 

 pilosig, apice bifidis. — c.p. 2787. 

 Hab. Putlam, A, O. Brodie, Esq. 



In habit and general appearance this a good deal resembles B. sensitivum, but 

 the ditfereut shape and venation of the folioles, and the longer, hairy styles, seem 

 satisfactorily to distinguish it.
