Hob. Ibu, West Africa; Eraser. 
Distinguished from B.Jlamtneus, by its dwarf-like growth 
and rich purple-rose hue. The specimen here represented, 
was collected by Mr. Eraser during the unfortunate Ex- 
pedition to explore the source of the Niger.

Rab. ? 
Care must be taken not to confound this species with 
the uncoloured variety of B.Jlammeus, from which it differs 
in form, and in not being reticulated.
