This resembles D. KelsaUi but differs in the rather 

 rather longer recurved sepals, the short rounded lobes of 

 the lip, with a distinct claw between the disc and the 

 limb, instead of overlapping, and instead of three ridges 

 running from the base of the lip to the base of the mid- 

 lobe, there are two thick fleshy deep purple crimson half 

 elliptic cushions with a groove between. The flowers 

 are less than half an inch long.
