Canoe Camp, 150 ft. “Flowers pale pink to white.” 
Remarkable for its small flowers appearing solitary from axillary tufts of bracts. The 
male flowers of the one specimen seen are borne in the upper axils, the female in the 
lower. The female flower has three inner petals in the only flower I have seen, but 
this may not be normal. The fruit appears to have been sueculent, and not winged as 
in B. Roxburghiana, A. DC.
