Description

This species is characterized by very long sparse hairs/bristles on the top of its leaves. It is somewhat similar to B. thomsonii as both are very hairy plants but B. limprichtii has a more dentate leaf margin and longer sparser hairs on the upper surface. The species is not included above as no herbarium specimens have been seen, however, photographs from East and West Siang, Arunachal-Pradesh ( Morris 2010b) are potential records for the study area.
