D. schroederianum has a few synonyms. It is called, in the latest revision,
D. striaenopsis Clements & Jones but was/is known as D. bigibbum var
schroederianum or D. bigibbum var laratensis. Not sure  about the 4N but it
is found on Larat Id. in the Tanimbar Is. group of Indonesia. It's new
specific name no doubt refers to the heavy veining of the flower, which is
usually larger than other bigibbum varieties.

Len Field has a good section on D. bigibbum at
