This species is evidently vory closely related to B. lucida with which it agrees 
nltrtf?ether in inQnrescence and largely in gliapo of leaf. It rliffers liowever in, hfiTing 
tlio loaves densely tomentoge beneath and in having tliem nil dnepfy bifid at the lip. 
The coltjar*of the flower hna Dot been noted by Fiither Scortechinip but tho petals, in 
the dried stfite, are exactly like those of the nnmeroiis upeciea tbat are noted m 
having oratJgG-yellovv thJMrera which rcddeu with ngw, and ure unlike thosu petals that 
ore noted as white. Owing to the absonco of fully opened flowera the dimensions 
of pctnla and the lengths of stipe ami atylo cannot be giiren.
