The affinity is with D. heterostegia, Presl, from which it can easily be 
recognised by the more hairy bracts, the small bracteoles, calyx and corolla, 
and especially by the narrow leaves usually borne on short petioles. Even 
when the petioles are larger, the blade always ends acutely, never being 
broadly rounded as is the case with D. heterostegia.

corollas.
