This new species is closely allied to B. sanguinea, Franch. 
in appearance and in structure of flower. The smaller leaves 
are strongly revolute, so much so that, viewed from above, the 
teeth of the margin are not visible. Forrest collected the plant 
four times in the area round Teng-yueh. I do not find it 
matched in any collections from the rest of Yunnan.
