the two species, the extremely important characters of the fruit 
being practically the same in both, so far as description goes, the 
capsule being described as ‘‘ 7.5-8.5 mm. long, 10 mm. wide, lobed 
to about one-third” in B. cubensis (1910), and “10 mm. wide, 
7 mm. long, deeply notched ” in B. propinqua (1915). Only Brit- 
ton’s designation of the large-leaved form included under Wright 
1913 as type can justify the reference of B. cubensis to P. stipitata 
as a synonym, for the description, at least as to fruit, is distinctly 
of P. propinqua.
