B. xanthina (Bot. Mag. tt. 4683, 5102, 5107).— Introduced 

 from Bhotan in 1852 by Nuttall. It is similar to B. Bex, pro- 

 bably only a form of that species. The leaves are large, fleshy, 

 and richly variegated. Three varieties of it are represented in 

 the Botanical Magazine. It has golden-yellow flowers.
