TENASSERIM, MARTABAN, PENANG. DISTEIB. Malay isles, China. 



Branchlets slender, soon glabrescent, with copious tendrils. Leaves the smallest 

 and deepest cleft of the section, cordate, firm, 1-3 in. long, the ribs at first pilose, the 

 apical lobes always obtuse. Flowers in copious dense short-peduncled or sessile ter- 

 minal corymbs ; pedicels slender, erecto-patent, -1 in., with several setaceous persis- 

 tent bracteoles. Calyx-tube ^-f in. ; limb | in., reflexed, thinly silky. Fertile 

 stamens 3. Ovary glabrous, with a short stalk, moderately long style and small 

 stigma. Pod thin, firm, indehiscent, glossy, 6-8 in. by If -2 in., with 10-12 small 

 seeds down the middle, like B. diphylla. Only distinguishable from the Chinese B. 

 corymbosa, Koxh. ; Wall. Cat. 5388, by its broad indehiscent pod. A plant gathered 

 by Hooker and Thomson in Khasia, without flower, has a pod like B. glauca, but the 

 leaves are larger, thinner, and much less deeply cleft. 



VAR. parvifolia, Teysm. & Binend. sp. ; leaves very small i-^in. long cleft nearly 

 to base clothed beneath with fine ferruginous silky pubescence, corymbs few-flowered.
