Fls. white or yellowish, mostly large, on short axillary usually solitary pedicels; calyx large, oblique, 5-parted; corolla-tube prominently ventricose, declinate, gibbous or saccate at base, the 5 lobes broad and spreading and only slightly unlike; stamens affixed in the base of the corolla, 4 perfect; disk-glands large at rear, small or wanting in front; style elongated: fr. fleshy, ovate, becoming 2-valved: lvs. opposite, thickish.—Some 15 species in Cent, and S. Amer., closely allied to Episcia. Warmhouse plants, requiring the treatment of other gesneriads. One species is offered abroad: D. Turrialvae, Hanst., from Costa Rica: tall shrub: lvs. broadly ovate, blistered, metallic- colored: fls. large, white, pendulous, the lower lobe toothed, calyx red. CH
