 concava, late imbricata, coriacea, basi incrassata, exteriora 2 minora, omnia nunc 

 glabra, nunc tomento sericeo chryseo vel fusco induta, tum vero interioribus plerumque

 ciliatum zona glabra petaloidea cinctis, intus glabra, denique decidua. Petala 5, erecta 

 sepala superantia, elliptico- vel oblongo-spathulata, in unguem latum subaequilongum 

 (in alabstro vero brevissimum) attenuata, margine pilis complanatis noduloso-asperis 

 dense albo-villosa, extus medio dorso vel basi tantum vel omnino non pilosa, intus 

 glabra et supra unguem squama bervi lata ^ profunde biloba raro integra deflexa 

 albo-villosa aucta. Discus completus, crateriformis, margine elevato tenui acuto aequali 

 vel subsinuato stamina arqte amplectente et in fasciculum colligente, glaber, vix 

 unquam (cf. D. borbonica forma trichogyra) extus pilosus. Stamina 12 — 30, rarius 8 — 10

 jam in alabastro erecta, petala paullulum superantia, subexserta (floris $ breviora); 

 filamenta filiformia, supra basin (intra discum sitam) albo-villosa; antherae ovato- 

 oblongae vel subuliformes, erectae, introrsae, dorso supra basin excisam affixae;
