A southern relative of D. altaica, differing in its evergreen leaves, which, especially when young, bear a tuft of hairs near the apex. The perianth lobes are lanceolate and acute (ovate-lanceolate and obtuse in D. altaica).
The plant at Kew figured in Bot. Mag., n.s., t. 344, is of unknown origin, but the species had been introduced by Ludlow, Sherriff and Elliot from S.E. Tibet in 1947 under their No. 15803 and was in cultivation in 1928, probably from seeds collected by Forrest in Yunnan. The species is hardy in the south of England but of little worth as a decorative plant.
