 In the original plate cited above, by an error of the draughts- 

 man, the petals are represented as dentate instead of fimbriate. 

 On the authority of this plate, without examining specimens or 

 consulting the original description, Simonkai joined with this 

 species the D. integripetalus of Schur, a plant from Butsets in 

 Lerchenfeld's Trausylvanian herbarium (1780). The original 

 specimens from which Kitaibel described the species were from 

 the territorial district of Bihar, in Hungary. The authority for 

 the northern limit is Herbich (Addit. ad FL G-aliciae) : that for 

 the southern limit is Friwaldsky, who found it on Mt. Rhodope 

 in 1836 : for the eastern limit, Fronius, who recorded it iu 

 Eoumania: and for the western limit, Schlosser ('Flora Croatica').

Collected by the Portuguese traveller, Major Serpa Pinto, in 

 August 1878, along the upper course of the Eiver Niada, an 

 affluent of the Zambesi, on the west side of the high plateau, at 

 an elevation of 1140 metres above the sea. Whether it is 

 caespitose or not cannot be determined, as the specimen consists 

 only of a flowering stem.
