Notes
The leaves are occasionally peltate. Collections from the Moluccas with peltate leaves and from W. Guinea with both peltate and non-peltate leaves are possibly D. glaucescens, but fruits are needed from these regions for confirmation.
The only fruiting collections known from Malesia are two from the Philippines: from Mindanao with peltate leaves (teste DIELS) and from Sulu Is. with non-peltate leaves.
