Feddes Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. Beih. 15: 326 (1918); H. Perrier in Humbert H. (ed.), Fl. Madag., 49 e fam., Orchidées 1: 190 (1939); Du Puy et al., Orch. Madag.: 133 (1999). — Type: Afzelius s.n., Madagascar E, Andakambararata (holo-, B, delet.) .
In his protologue, SCHLECHTER said “floribus illis D. tripetaloideae Lindl. similibus et fere aequimagnis”. He then indicated that his species could be slightly distinguished from D. tripetaloides by the lip appendage which developed linearly and was not dilated in front, but in the protologue the description of the free part of the lip corresponds well with D. tripetaloides except for the terminal lobule: “appendice antrorsa infracta a basi late cordata dense papillosa lineari producta…”. One can only suppose that D. afzelii is a synonym of D. tripetaloides but as the type has been lost, doubts persist.
