Related to D. ochrolepis but easily distinguishable from this by its very 
narrowly ensiform leaflets, and larger fruit, which are about the size of those of 
D. calapparius, and among the largest in the whole genus.

It is apparently related to the species of the group of D. lamprolepis of the 
Piptospatha division. It is well characterized by the strongly biconvex petiole, 
and more especially by the very slender and unusually long male flowers, the 
tubular calyx, and also by the mouth of the leaf-sheaths being quite smooth and 
entirely devoid of spines, bristles, or other kind of fringe.
