According to Roxburgh and Kurz, this is distinguished from D. spicata by size 
and habit, and the petioled leaves, and according to Kurz, by the perianth 6-cleft 
tothe middle, that of D. spicata being 6-cleft half-way down. Roxburgh describes 
the fruit as of the size and appearance of a fine red cherry ; but Kurz as orange red. 
In both species the perianth becomes twisted in age, and in both the thinly coriaceous 
leaves may be blotched with white.
