The name Deinbollia polypus was chosen in allusion to the 
numerous persistent pedicel-bases at the ends of the short 
branchlets of the panicle. The flowers of D. insignis are on the 
whole less numerous, although they appear just as crowded as in 
D. polypus, on account of their being larger and supported by 
stouter pedicels. The latter are, moreover, articulated close to 
the base.
