caduca, orbiculata, vix 1 mm. longa. Petala 4, ovata, obtusa, pustulata, 2 mm. 
longa. Stamina 20, exteriora brevia, filamentis latis quadratis, interiora filamentis 
longioribus late linearibus, antheris loculis oblongis divaricatis ad basin sulcatis. 
Pistilla 3-4, obeuneata, lata, 1 mm. longa, stigmatibus crassis cariniformibus. 
Receptaculum subglobosum. 
Camp VI 5, 3900 ft. 
A species very distinct in the large leaves and umbellate branches of the terminal 
panicles of very small flowers. The leaves are minutely dotted black on both sides, and 
the stem and panicle are rough and wrinkled. The pustular petals are also a peculiar 
characteristic. 
It is perhaps most nearly allied to D. Howe, F. von Muell, but has much smaller 
flowers.

Camps XII to XIII, 10,500 to 11,000 ft. 
Allied to D. dipetala, F. von Muell, of Australia, but more compact, with smaller 
flowers, spathulate petals, and shorter stamens.
