The species is difficult to characterise. Technically it is near to 
B. Caldasiana, but it is of a much smaller size than even the most 
depauperated specimen of this species. Algo the hairiness. is

Mr. J. G. Baker is certainly right in comparing this plant with 
B. formosissima, Griseb., but it also shows strong resemblances to 
B. superba, Herb., being to a certain degree intermediate between 
the two species. Tt agrees with Mr. Herbert’s plate of B. superba 
in the flower but has much larger and broader leaves. It t also 
agrees fairly well with Mr. Baker’s description of B. superba 
(** The Handbook of the Amaryllideae,” p. 153) but differs in the 
absence of hairs especially in the flowers and inflorescence. It has 
the habit and compact ialinveesepees of B. formosissima, Griseb., the 
petals of which are, however, different.
