CHINA: Yunnan; Szemao Mts at 5,000 feet elev., Henry 11895! 
A species nearly related to D. lanceolaria, D. Olweri, D. Hemsleyi and their allies, but quite distinct 
by reason of the very large stipules. The young leaves are densely pubescent, but it does not therefore 
follow that they are so when adult; not being fully developed, measurements are not given for the 
leaflets or rachis. :

puberulous. Leaves 6—9 іп. long, on young shoots sometimes 11 in. long; leaflets 
13—17, rarely 9 or ll, on young shoots sometimes 19—21, ovate, subacute or obtuse 
emarginate, 1-5 in. long, "85 in, wide, glabrous or finely sparsely adpressed-pubescent on 
both surfaces when young, soon quite glabrous, chartaceous, finely reticulately veined, 
distal leaflet hardly exceeding the others; rachis 5—7:5 in. long and petiolules *2 in.

panicles with glabrous peduncles and sparsely puberulous branches and pedicels; each 
apparent panicle 3—6 іп, long, 4—8 іп, wide, terminating in а small leafy shoot, 
which develops before the fruits ripen; bracts at base of pedicels and bracteoles under 
calyx lanceolate, half as long as calyx-tube, puberulous; calyx puberulous or pubescent, 
campanulate, the two upper teeth subconnate obtuse, the lateral acute, shorter than 
tube, lowest lanceolate as long as tube; corolla white externally, lilac in bud, purple 
within, petals all long clawed, standard obovate or orbicular emarginate not thickened

third, alternately shorter and longer; ovary glabrous except the stipe, or slightly 
pubescent in the lower half, rather long-stipitate; style slender, stigma capitate; ovules 
usually 3. Pod indehiscent, long-stipitate, tapering to the base, rounded or acute at 
apex, coriaceous, glabrous, usually 1-seeded, sometimes 2—3-seeded, reticulated throughout,
