Taxonomic remarks

The Flora of China ( Gu et al. 2007) records this species as present in Northeast India but we have seen no specimens to confirm this. The origin of the record is not known, but this species could easily be confused with other lacerated leaved species such as B. koelzii and B. shilendrae .
