B. 'Reichenheimii'
Very similar to the previous one [xanthina marmorea], but much larger in all parts. The leaves taper less into a lanceolate shape at the top, but rather have a more obliquely crescent-like oblong shape; in contrast, the auricles are often very insignificant. The silvery-white bands, unequal at the margins, are wider than in B. xanthina marmorea, and therefore also protrude much more prominently. On the underside, therefore, almost only a narrow strip on both sides of the veins and their main branches is colored brownish-red. In all other respects, especially with regard to the leaf and flower stalks and the stipules, this hybrid is similar to the previous one, but the flowers seem to have an even yellower color
