Dear Rashida,

D. mastersii seems not to exist. So it must be wrong.


D. fimbriatum has a lip with delicate fimbriate margin. D. crysotoxum is
another species with dark brown eye with slightly fimbriate margin though.

D. densiflorum has a compact druping raceme.

So I guess it's same as D. chrysanthum.

- regards,
Swapna.
