It’s not B. pilosa, if you sure it’s Bytteneria, check with B. andamanensis,

Thanks, …, for validation.
I was also confused by the hairiness of the petiole and pedicles depicted in FOC illustration.
But it is OK as per close scrutiny of low resolution images and GBIFspecimens 1 and specimen 2, from the nearby areas.
