This species is allied to D. eulophotum, Lindl., and indeed has 
been confused with it. However, it is very distinct. Itisa 
longer and weaker plant, the leaves are thin, of the texture of 
those of D. grande, Hook. f., and not fleshy like those of D. eulo- 
photum, Lindl. The flowers are larger, and have a more 
distinct mentum, and are quite differently coloured, the petals 
are narrower and longer, the lip has a long claw, ending in a 
semi-linear broad deflexed blade, the ends long and acute. The 
callus consists of two setaceous curved processes swollen at the 
base where they are connate. 
There is a good sketch of this in Scortechini’s drawings, as 
well as one of D. eulophotum.
