This species is closely allied to B. Sainia, Seem., from wbioh it 
differs chiefly in having leaves with deeper narrower more sen-ate 
lobes, and also in having rusty instead o£ pale tomentura on the 
young shoots and inflorescence. The two nre i« my opinion ratlier too 
closely allied to be kept distinct as Bpeciee, In hta distribution, Wallieh 
issued botli under the name Hedera polycantha and the number 4907.
