B. minori affinis; truncus pluripedalis, gracilis, parte foliis destituta et regulariter annulata tantum

 elongatae, pro more circa 10 cm longae, rigidiusculae, coriaceae, prominule et dense costato-striatae, Costa 

 dorsali insuper subcarinatae, primo clausae sed cito insuper rumpentes et in lacinias petiolo oppositas vulgo 

 pseudostipulae dictas et mox evanescentes apice solutae; petiolus gracilis, subtrigonus, fere plano-convexus, 

 circa 8 — 16 cm longus; lamina segmentoso-pinnata; segmenta plerumque 18, omnia fere aequalia, suprema 

 caeteris tantum paulo latiora, inferiora basi angustata inserta, caetera basi circa 3 — 6 mm lata sessilia, 

 anguste lineari-lanceolata, perangusta, acuminata, parum falcata, integerrima, circa 12 — 13 cm longa et 

 raro plus 1 cm (saepe tantum 7 — 8 mm) lata; paniculae ad spicas fasciculato-multilloras redactae; spicae

 peduncuü spicas longitudine sua manifeste superantes, pergraciles, subteretiusculi, obscure striati; spatha 

 initio clausa et spicam in cylindrum inapertum, angustissimum, linearem, acuminatum includens, apice 

 tenui excepto nervis 2 plus prominentibus dorso bicarinata, jam ante anthesin unilateraliter secus longi-

 spicae densiflorae; fores sessiles; flores masculi late oblongi, obtusi, circa 2.5 mm longi; tepala exteriora 

 vix 1 mm longa, latissima, late imbricata, cordato-rotundata quasi cupulam efformantia; tepala interiora 

 aestivatione stricte valvata distincta, crasse coriacea, prominule striata, elliptico-oblonga, apice breviter inflexo 

 subacuta; stamina 9 conglobata, filamentis brevissimis: antherae circa 1 mm vel paulo plus longae, anguste 

 oblongae, filamentis multo longiores; flores feminei (haud raro suppressi) valde diversi, fere globosi, sub- 

 breviores sed latiores; tepala interiora dorso crasse coriaceo prominule striata, sed praetarea margine lato, 

 scarioso instructa et idcirco latissima, rotundata sed apice inflexo acuta, haud valvata, sed laxe lateque

Nordost-Queensland: in den Regenwäldern am Abhänge des Bellender-Ker, besonders in der 

 Höhe von ungefähr 800 m, aber auch höher und tiefer, häufig (Domin, XII. 1909). 



Steht der B. minor am nächsten, unterscheidet sich von ihr aber bereits hinreichend durch die 

 glänzenden, dunkelgrünen Blätter mit mehreren gleichmässigen, viel schmäleren, zugespitzten und ganz- 

 randigen Segmenten.
