The plant shows some resemblance to B. multiflora, Mirb. (a 
rather badly defined species), but the sepals and petals are of exactly 
the same length and the number of flowers is very limited. It 
should be placed among the small species. It also shows some 
superficial resemblance to B. acutifolia, Herb,, but this has leaves 
less than one third of the length and still fewer flowers.
