﻿326 Griggs: Some new species of Bihai 



1908, H. von Tuerckheim II 2356. Type in the herbarium of tl 

 New York Botanical Garden. 



The very narrow revolute bracts at once distinguish B. adfle: 

 from all other species of the genus except B. lingulata and . 



There is small likelihood of its being confused with B. revoluta 

 nth its elongated, lax, pendent inflorescence. The resemblance 

 B. lingulata is closer but that species has larger, yellow inflo- 

 sscence with wider bracts. It is, moreover, Peruvian.
