Type : "Bihai sylvestris n. sp. [...] The herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden contains five specimens, all from forests or thickets at Tumatumari, British Guiana: Gleason 5, 82, 105 (type), and 937, and Hitchcock 17, 347. Bihai sylvestris seems to be most closely related to B. acuminata (Rich.) Kuntze, a common species in British Guiana, but differs from it and from the other species of the region in its shorter petioles, narrower leaf-blades broadly rounded at the base, and heavily glaucous bracts."
