Tkiis ^rre©8 in foliage with B. ferrtifftnm with which Mr. Baker has united 
ifc, and it has the dame pabeseenoe on the oiitaid© of the jietala. But it differs 
conBiderabliy in flower and very markedly in the natnre of ita bracts and of itg 
large persistent stipnlea and Mr. Bentbnm a&ems to the writer to have been nnilonbt- 
edty juBtified in treating it ur spfcifically diatinct. It fa in rewlifcy more nearly 
allied to B, HnUettii which has however pink flowers and pubescent leaveB, and has 
the loiig'pedicelied flowera of B. »emihifida and B. alho^l'utea, than it is to the apeci^fl 
in which Mr. Baker inolndeB it.
