The most pronounced difference between the two species is in the styles.
While _D.aliciae_ has repeatedly dichotomous style branches, they are only
basally bipartite in _D.cuneifolia_. The flowers of _D.cuneifolia_ are
generally larger than those of _D.aliciae_.

A tremendous difference: _D.cuneifolia_ is a valid name while "D.cuneifolia
undulata" has not even been published anywhere (or have I missed
something?). I assume this "combination" does not correspond to any
reference herbarium (or whatsoever) material. Ergo nomen nudum et dubium.
Just forget it!
Kind regards
