sepals are quite differently shaped, the posticous sepal is spathulate, 
the lateral sepals twice as long, the corollas are like those of B.

several times longer and their spe very much reduced.

The Museum specimens of this have only a single flower, and 
for this reason, when working at my memoir on Welwitsch’s 
Acanthaceea, I declined to write a description. As shown above, 
the corolla is markedly smaller than is that of B. taitensis, and, 
when examined, may prove so different from it as, together with 
the other discrepancies already sesitaitiea, will justify the seam 3 
of this western plant from the eastern B. taitensis. Moreov el- 
witsch notes that the flowers are deep blue: those of B. pier: 
would appear to be either white or yellow.
