It is easily recognized by the alternate, spiral leaves grouped at the apex of the branches and showy white to pink flowers with numerous stamens. As a contribution to the Flora of Espírito Santo project, this study provides a description, illustrations, taxonomic comments and a distribution map of the specimens of B. stricta from the state.
