Plants usually robust. Cauline leaves distant, lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, with dense, rather small dark purplish-violet spots above and sometimes beneath, occasionally tinged dingy purple towards apex. Spike dense, cylindrical. Bracts lanceolate, lower ± exceeding flowers, densely spotted or tinged purple. Flowers similar to D. umbrosa;labellum subentire or ± 3-lobed, rather faintly marked with dots and lines. Spur somewhat shorter than ovary.
Type: [Turkey B9 Van]
inter Başkale et Hoşap E. jugo Cuhgedigi, 25 km a finibus Persiae, 2200-2300 m, inpaludibus, Renz 10972 (holo. Hb. Renz!).
Endemic, ir .-Tur. element.
Averyanov{loc. cit., 1983) separated the above specimen from D. cruenta. On the basis of our own field observations we are inclined to agree with this view, but the whole spotted-leaved complex from S.E. Anatolia, including D. vanensis Nelson p.p. (q.v.), is still poorly understood.
