Remarks
The distinguishing point at issue from D.
latispinus is the strongly develop bristle of hairs round about the
base of the primary stamens. We think this is a very small difference
that also occurs in a few other species and also this difference
should not result in another name. Neither the exact habitat, nor any
other information, was placed at our disposal by the herbarium of the
University of Köln.
