It is distinguished from D. angustifolium by spreading-hirsute nodes and leaves 10-15× as long as wide (D. angustifolium has beardless nodes, or nodes bearded with erect-ascending soft hairs, and longer leaves 20× or more as long as wide). D. consanguineum is distinguished from D. ovale by having strongly pilose upper blade surfaces (D. ovale upper blade surfaces are glabrous or with a few long hairs basally). The hairs of D. consanguineum frequently are strongly papillate.
