More or less. It should be broadest above the middle in any event.

There should be few minute glandular hairs or almost sessile glands.
Not really much indumentum.

Wait for the (ripe) seeds. They have very prominent papillae unlike
any other species except _D. intermedia_ (if not examined under a
microscope, which reveals the rather great difference). If you do not
find the papillae, forget about _D. capillaris_.

Kind regards
Jan
