Perennial. Leaves rosulate (the tuft about 3 cm. across), spreading, 

 obovato-orbicular, shortly cuneate to a not long petiole, fringed with long 

 glandular hairs and pilose with shorter glandular hairs above, thinly 

 puberulent beneath, 6-7 mm. across, 10-14 mm. long including the petiole ; 

 petiole about as long as the blade, fringed with scarious pilose hairs at the 

 base. Scapes 1-3, erect, slender, glabrous, about 10 cm. long including 

 the raceme. Raceme shorter than the scape, secundly several-flowered ;

Nom. Jap. Kiirumaha-mosengoke (no v.). 



Hah. Formosa : Near Daihoku {ChiyokicM Yoshihara ! no. 143, April 

 1902). 



So far as I know, this species has been found nowhere in Japan, 

 except in Formosa; while D. spatlmlata Labill. =Z). Loureirii Hook, et 

 Arn. (Jap. Ko-ondsengoke) are frequently met with. According to Forbes 

 and Hemsley, Carpenter collected it in Amami Oshima, but we have no 

 specimen of it from there.
