B. nivea, Duthie, and B. nivea var. yunnanensis, Rehder and 
Wilson (which is the same as B. macrostachya var. yunnanensis, 
Dop). All occur in S.W. China. The flowers of B. Fallowiana 
are much more slender, much longer in proportion to their width, 
the stamens are inserted a little above the middle of the tube, 
not near the sinuses of the corolla lobes as in the other species ; 
the leaves are finely denticulate and show until a late stage a 
thin coating of whitish tomentum above.
