Few of the Buchenroederas exhibit a glabrescent habit, this 
species and B. pauciflora, Schlechter, nos | exceptions ; the species 
under consideration exhibits an affinity to B. viminea, Presl, but the 
character alluded to, the plant’s slender habit, shorter lanceolate 
leaflets and more laxly flowering racemes render the species easy of 
identification.
