Notes

Clearly closely allied to D. mundus Sloot. of the Central Bornean hills, a species which is conspicuously glabrous but for its corolla, ovary, and the inside of its stipules. The two species are therefore very different in appearance; flowers are still awaited and may provide further differences.
