Stems erect, branched, terete, obtusely 4 - sided, densely pubescent with 0.3–1 mm long multiseriate glandular hairs and puberulent with minute uniseriate (spreading or bent) hairs, rarely without multiseriate hairs. Leaves opposite, equal or unequal; petiole 1–8 cm long, pubescent and puberulent as the stem; leaf blade ovate, ovate-elliptic, or oblong-ovate, 2–14 × 1.5–8.2 cm, thin to thick papery, secondary veins 3 on each side of midvein, abaxial surface pale green to purplish, adaxial surface green to dark green, both surfaces puberulent with uniseriate hairs and sparsely strigose with multiseriate hairs or abaxially glabrescent and adaxially sparsely strigose, base cordate, margin serrulate or inconspicuously so with each tooth having a terminal seta, apex acuminate or short acuminate, rarely acute. Inflorescence a terminal cyme, rarely a cymose panicle; peduncle 1–3.5 cm long, indumentum same as the stem, 2–12 - flowered. Flowers bisexual, radial but androecium slightly bilateral, 4 - merous; pedicel 0.7–2 cm long, indumentum same as the stem; hypanthium bell- or funnel-shaped, 4–6 mm long, pubescent with glandular hairs, rarely only puberulent; calyx lobes linear-lanceolate, 3–5 mm long, pubescent with glandular hairs, rarely only puberulent; petals pink to purplish-red, ovate, 6–10 × ca. 6 mm, oblique, abaxially puberulent with minute uniseriate hairs or glabrescent, apex acute; stamens 8 in two whorls, often dimorphic, sometimes isomorphic, the outer whorl of the dimorphic stamens ca. 1.8 cm long, filaments ca. 10 mm long, anthers linear, ca. 7 mm long, curved, connective decurrent, slightly prolonged, the inner whorl of the dimorphic stamens or the isomorphic ca. 1.1 cm long, filaments ca. 6 mm, anthers lanceolate, slightly curved, ca. 5 mm long, forming two ventral lobes and a dorsal tubercule / short spur; ovary half inferior, locules 4, apex with a membranous crown, crown margin denticulate and ciliate with glandular hairs; style ca. 8–12 mm long, basally puberulent.

It occurs in Sichuan, northern Guizhou, southern Chongqing, and northeastern Yunnan. Most populations have dimorphic stamens. However, both isomorphic and dimorphic morphs have been recorded in different populations and even within the same population in Sichuan and Chongqing, a rare occurrence in Melastomataceae .</p><p>Additional specimen examined.</p><p>China.

(2008) suggested that it is closely related to B. hirsuta, a species found in Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands, but can be distinguished by the rod-shaped ventral appendages and the calyx lobes with red strigose hairs abaxially. However, the accession from Mt. Dulan (LY 565) is deeply nested within B. hirsuta in the species tree based on single-copy orthologs (Fig. 1). A comparison of living plants of B. dulanica and B. hirsuta from Taiwan and Okinawa revealed no obvious difference in stamen morphology and hairiness (Fig. 7). Based on the above findings, we consider B. dulanica to be a synonym of B. hirsuta .</p><p>Additional specimen examined.</p><p>China. Taiwan Province: • Taidong County, S. M. Liu et al. 507 (PE), S.
