glabrous, 3 lines long. Calyx 5-parted, the segments glandular at back, and tipped 
with a gland, ciliate. Petals oblong, 13 lines long. Stamens scarcely longer than 
the petals, the filaments glabrous; sterile 4 as long, gland-tipped. Style equalling 
the stamens ; stigma obtuse. 
18. B. microcarpa (Sond.); entirely clothed with a very short down ; 
branches rod-like; leaves opposite or ternate, on the young shoots sub- 
alternate, linear-oblong, obtuse, with revolute margins, sparsely glanded 
beneath; peduncles 1-4, axillary, one-flowered, shorter than the leaves ; 
calyx-lobes lanceolate, obtuse ; sterile filaments pubescent ; style downy ;

More than a foot high, the primary stem as thick as a goose quill, yish-pubes- 
cent. Branches erect, with spreading twigs. Leaves 4-5 lines long, 3-1 line wide, 
obtuse, neither mucronate nor gland-tipped, erect or spreading, convex above from 
the strongly revolute margin. Pedune. ebracteate, capillary, thickened upwards in 
fruit. Calyx s-parted, the lobes 1 line long, downy within and without, and ciliate.

horns erect, acute, very short.—Very similar to B. lanceolata. From B, foetidissima,
