 I have not seen.

Belonging to section Eii-Suvbaa, and nearest to B. buphthal-

 4-6-plo brevioribus; corolla alte 5-fida, 0-8-1-3 cm. longa, seg- 

 ments lineari-lanceolatis vel lincari-ellipticis acutis, glabris, 2-3 cm.

 cylindrica glaberrima bivalvi. 



In regione austro-orientali : In clivis montis Katberg, Mart. 

 1896; Domina Amu (jdlpi't (No. 2059 in Herb. E. E. Galpin et
