Note.

Morphologically, D. savatieri differs from D. anthriscifolium in that the staminode limb is ovate (vs. dolabriform), 2-lobed (vs. 2-parted), and its base is broadly cuneate (vs. subtruncate). Cytologically, D. savatieri also differs from D. anthriscifolium in that its karyotype formula is 2n = 2x = 16 = 2m + 6sm + 8st (vs. 2n = 4x = 32 = 4m + 16sm + 12st).
