Malacca, (Maingay); Ayer Panas (Goodenough); Tebong; Mt. 
Ophir (Hullett); Bukit Rejang (Derry). Selangor, Batu Caves 
(limestone rocks). Distrib. Borneo. 
Kurz in his account of D. pachyphylla of the Andaman islands gives 
Maingay’s plant as pachyphylla, but his description of the species does not at 
all agree with the Malacca plant. 
The striking features of this species are the shortness of the petioles of 
the lower leaves, those of the upper leaves being twice as long or more, the 
abruptly narrowed base of the blade, and the short condensed flower-raceme.
