Sourn Mexico, without exact localities (Halsted & Sumichrast). Tb. Kew. 
Since the publication of the diagnosis of this species, we have had occasion to com- 
pare a number of specimens of various species of the genus; and there is no doubt that 
this is very near, if not identical with, B. intermedia, Moric. ; but the pod of Moricand’s 
plant is represented as double the length of those of our B. stipitata. Our plant has 
also much the aspect of B. foliolosa, from which it differs in its more abundant and per- 
sistent tomentum, softer leaves, shorter pedicels, longer stipes of the pod, &c.
