Species a B. monosfaclnja et niiriore jam fructibus parvis facile dignoscenda. 
A B. aequisegmentosa, cujus fructus adhuc ignoti, segmentis ultimis latissimis, dentatis (i. e. segmentis 
pluribus in unum confluentibus, hand discretis, nam dentes segmentorum apices indicant), petiolo nuUo, 
spatha a spica remotiuscula, tepalis internis in floribus Ç valvatis etc. sat superque diversa.

Nordost^Queensland: in den Regenwäldern am Abbange des Bellender-Ker, besonders in der 
Höhe von ungefähr 800 m, aber auch höber und tiefer, häufig (Domin, XII. 1909). 
Steht der B. minor am nächsten, unterscheidet sich von ihr aber bereits hinreichend durch die 
glänzenden, dunkelgrünen Blätter mit mehreren gleichmässigen, viel schmäleren, zugespitzten und ganz- 
randigen Segmenten.
