In Ch. Nag. the smaller leaves of B. racemosa and its more delicate 

 and pubescent nervation easily distinguish that species in leaf from B. 

 malabarica. A very pubescent form of tho latter, however, occurs in the 

 U. P., and Kanjilal employs the acid taste of the leaves to distinguish it 

 from racemosa. This taste is very characteristic.
