B. ecliinata Wall. Cab. 1119 is the only No. wliicli I have mysolf seen, and 

 consists of loose leaves and a piece of a capsule, the former differing from 

 his Bb. parvijlora, Wall. Cat. 1121 from Silhet only in size, the latter 

 almost indistinguishable from B. Andamanensis, Nipal is also given as a 

 locality but Wallich's Nos. cited are all Burmese.
