Discussion
This large forest tree is readily recognized by its small, lanceolate leaflets, its smaller flowers in which the hypanthium is shallowly cupular. The inequal androecium clearly relates it to D. altsoni; the leaflet pubescence also is identical in the two species.
Only one sheet, on which parts of both the flowering and the fruiting collections originally cited are attached, has been seen.
