Herbaceous, strigose. Leaves 4* by 1$ in., sparsely yellow stngillose above; 

 petiole i in. Racemes yellow-strigose ; bracteoles by | in. (in Nees type), , by , in. 

 (in Arnott's . pentandra). Sepals subacute. Corolla-tube U m. ; Ic 

 obovate-elliptic. Capsule nearly 1 in., 4-seeded.-Nees has confounded the Cey 01 

 and Nilgiri varieties of this species ; his description of B. incolucrata is found* 

 on Wight's n. 1958 from Ceylon, and he says the bracteoles are 4 hues long; he tl 

 places under this the Malabar specimens, which do not suit the description, and win- 

 all belong to his B. terminalis (see E. strigosa, var.) The Ceylon specimens are very 

 uniform, drying black, and having the racemes mainly axillary. Ihe bracteoles 

 in well-developed specimens much* longer than the poor pieces Nees and Arnott 

 had, but still much shorter than in B. elata. Wight* n. 1958 has the bracteoles 

 unusually broad and obtuse.
