(Original in Herb. Mus. Wien! and C!). 
A Brazilian representative of the Andine D. refulgens and together with that 
species different from all other species of the subgenus by the pinnz being incised 
scarcely more than halfway to the costa. From JD. refulgens it differs 1) by the 
dark-green leaf, which is 20—25 cm broad; pinne 2!/:—3 cm broad, 2) pinnz from 
a truncate base oblong-linear with parallel edges suddenly narrowed into a short, 
acute apex; segments close, 4 mm broad, truncate and often emarginate at the 
apex; veins 7—9, the lower 2—4 running to the sinus, all reaching the margin, or 
often the lower-most pair do not reach the sinus but end in the leaf-tissue below 
the sinus, 3) rachis and costze beneath sparingly scaly; scales small, dark reddish- 
brown, mostly ovate with a short apex and shortly toothed margins; cell-walls
