Our plant is very near &. edulis and &. salszlla, but the frst 
has much larger flowers and a glabrous ovary, and the second has 
linear leaves. Following the description it must also be related to 
B. Hieronymi Pax (in Engl. Jahrb. 11: 332) which however dif- 
fers in having less numerous inflorescence-branches, a glabrous 
ovary and the hairs underneath the leaves Jdefweem the nerves in- 
stead of oz them. The angular stem is very characteristic of ZB. 
FHoltoni?.

This t may te a distinct species, which might also be related to B. 
conferta. The latter differs, however, by having petals upto 5 cm. 
in width, pubescent stems, and lanceolate leaves which are pubescent 
underneath. On our plant the stem and leaves seem to be glabrous 
and the leaves are ovate; but the specimen is too imperfect for an 
accurate specific description.
