Seemingly very distinct from the last, not only in general habit but in floral cha- 

 racters. It is, however, compared by Cambessedes with D. grandiflorum, L., but 

 distinguished by the smaller flowers, by the more velvety pubescence, and particularly 

 by the number of ovaria. It is also not unlike some small states of the American 

 D. azureum, Mich., and B. paucijlorum, Nutt.
