 ('ale. V. t. 346, has rather tubular flowers with cuneate oblong lips. The 

 description of capsules just given is drawn up from another specimen which 

 was doubtingly referred to D. pattens by myself in my Materials for a Mora 

 of Formosa p. 347. The type specimen, -with several duplicates, was first

 self in my excursion to the island in the beginning of July, this year, 

 on the sandy ground in a clump of shrubs near sea shore on the eastern 

 coast of the south cape.
