The nearest ally of D. Kunstleri is the Ceylon D. Maerei, which 
latter has a a very wide range in India, from Sikkim to the Nilghiri 
Desmotrichum fimbriatum as the same specifically. From this D, Kunst- 
leri differs in the much larger broader coriaceous leaves, the acute 
side-lobes of the lip, and very vg 2 mid-lobe, which, though 
similarly plaited, is not bifid.—
