Very near D. olujocarpa and, possibly, not specifically distinct; intermediate 

 forms are not rarely found. The typical form of I), pilosula dilfers from D. olujo-

 on rachis and costæ, and (2), the indusium being large, persistent and densely 

 setose.

 as 1). pilosula resembles it in pubescence, but seems to me to be a different, not 

 described species.

 Alfaro n. 16585 (HC) I provisionally refer as a variety to I), piloxnla, dilfering
