Brazil. Described from fresh material communicated by 

 Messrs. Haage & Schmidt, Erfurt. Very similar in habit to 

 B. maculata, Raddi, which belongs, however, to a different 

 section of the genus, in which the two segments of the placenta 

 bear ovules on their outer faces only. The two species look 

 remarkably alike when not in flower, the most obvious difference 

 being that the leaves of B. dichroa are considerably less oblique 

 than those of B. maculata.
