I have never seen this in flower except from Parasnatli. Dr. Hooker collected the 

 leaves there in February 1848 ; and Dr. Thomson found it in flower there in September 

 1853. It has a very different appearance from any form of D. itrictua, of which, bow- 

 ever, it may prove to be a silky variety, distinguished by its very long curious Bpn id in 

 silky pubescence. I cannot point out any distinction in the structure of the ipicul 

 except that the upper palea of the terminal flower is keeled, and not convex, us it is i

The anthers of the flowers in this species have the blunt points which are found in the 

 two preceding species. In other respects it resembles D. Eookeri and D. EamiUonii,
