- Description
- The Journal of the Linnean Society. Botany. London: the Society :Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts & Williams and Norgate, 1865-1968. v. 25 (1890): Page: 25-27, Plate 11-13 http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/8381 Planta 4-12 uncias alta, tenera, pubescens. Rhizoma breve, lignosum. Folia longe petiolata, cordato-ovata, acuta, integra duplicato-serrata. Flores numerosi, minusculi, rosei. Antherae vix apiculatae. Capsula 3-alata, anguste oblonga, pubescens, cum alis longa ½ unciam, lata 2/3 unciam, loculis 2, inter alas 2 angustissimas dehiscens; alae tertiae magnae margo superior rectus horizontalis; placentae bifidae. A Platycentrum, but not very near any of the Indian species. Its capsule dehisces nearly as the capsule of B. gigantea; but from the weakness of the plant and the non-apiculate anthers it should perhaps stand near B. procridifolia.
