 Dao, Hosseus, 407, 471. 



Distr. India, Burma, China. 



Hosseus I.e. refers his 471 to B. variegata and his 407 to " B. 

 variegata, Linn, vel sp." 407 is not quite typical B. variegata but 

 the material in Herb. Kew is rather poor. 



In a footnote to ii. p. 392 Hosseus explains that his determinations 

 of B. purpurea and B. variegata had by an oversight become reversed 

 in his first paper so the present writer has given no references to 

 that paper for the species in question.
