 acute. Flowers 1^-2 in. diam.

 below, leaves linear- oblong, base broad, tip broad deeply acutely cleft, 

 sheaths hirsute, flowers 2-3 racemose on a very short peduncle yellow,

 $ in.; bracts small, ovate; flowers 1-1^ in. long. Capsules f in. long, pedicel 

 decurved. I can scarcely, without further evidence, unite this "with D. nutans, as 

 Reichenbach has done ; it is a much more robust and larger-flowered plant, with 

 broader, more oblong, deeply cleft leaves, and much larger flowers.

 sulcate. Leaves 2-2 by A_^ in. Flowers % in. long. Lindley describes the
