Good morning Sir and thank you for explaining confusions over Linnaean herbarium.
In one side i have so many sources suggesting that this plant is *B. sensitivum*, on the opposite side i find, as you have explained in this thread, there is only Veldkamp. A preview page (of Veldkamp) is available at - http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/1220908?uid=3738256&uid=2&uid=4&sid=21101773873831. But, i fail to understand anything (described on that page).
