Also, it is partly similar to B. shiraziana, but differs from it mainly in: color of outer tunic, number of leaves, number of flowers in the raceme and raceme size, short pedicels, the shape, color and size of flowers, size and color of lobes. A comprehensive description, diagnostic characters, original photographs, geographical distribution, conservation assessment, and taxonomic comments on the new species are presented.
