This widespread species is abundant throughout the hilly or mountainous 

 areas of the tropics. When the plants are large and well developed they are 

 readily recognized, but the smaller forms are more difficult since they may be 

 confused with large plants of B. brcuteliana. The cells are a little larger, the 

 trigones are larger and conspicuous, and the cuticle is more coarsely verrueulose 

 in B. hookeri. There are also small differences which are difficult to evaluate. 

 The scale-leaves of the flagelliform branches are very small and inconspicuous 

 in B. breuteliana while they are much larger and broader than the stem in B. 

 hookeri. The large scale-leaves will also serve to separate small plants of this 

 species from B. arcuata or other members of the section Grandistipnlae.
