| Comments | No comment for me, I still am looking for this species. Both plates showing the B. retusa (in Reinchenbach Herbanium from a Peruvian plant) and B. revoluta (Martius's FLora Brasiliensis) in Dr. Whitner's books are very similar, single flower on both plants. He also thinks the plate of B. retusa resembles the B. cebolleta. Definitely need more data on this species to prove if it is in fact, a species. |
