The individual spicula of this species is certainly very like that of B. breriflora, but i^ 



at once distinguished by the comparatively long-stalked terminal ilou<r. In mzc, foliar 



and general inflorescence, the two plants are widely different. Dr. Brandig says thai 

 this species is common throughout Pegu on hills, and is asso<ia1rd with Teak.
