Near D. pollens, Griff., but differs from it by nearly campanulate flowers 

 with obtriangular lips. D. pollens Griff, figured in Ann. Eoy. Bot. Gard. 

 Calc. 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. paUhns by myself in my Materials for a Flora 

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

 collected by Mr. T. Kawakami at Koshun. The plant was also found by my- 

 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.
