The native country of this plant is not known : we 

 presume it is South America, from its great resemblance 

 to B. americana and its allies, from all of which, however, 

 it is specifically distinct. 



It is a handsome stove plant, flowering from January 

 till May. Our drawing was made in Mr. Lee's Nursery. 



Particularly distinguished by the difference in form 

 between its upper and lower leaves, and by its taper 

 branches and bright-yellow flowers, both densely covered 

 with down. The young flowering shoots have a pendulous 

 direction, which adds much to the beauty of the plant.

 Herbarium is still preserved in the British Museum.
