Dr Arnott observes that both this and B. caryophylloides of 
Blume “ have the germinating tigellus tapering slightly, and ob- 
Scurely angled towards the point. I as yet know of no charac- 
ter to separate the two, except the narrower and more pointed 
leaves, and longer peduncles of the Malabar plant. I have 
never, in the present one, observed more or less than three 
flowers on each peduncle, but the two lateral ones often drop off 
before expansion.” In our figure one of these lateral flowers 
has very constantly fallen off, hence the peduncles are repre- 
sented as if two-flowered.
