Etymology:
"The specific epithet, from the Greek macro- (=large) and petalum (=petal),
refers to the comparatively large petals of this species. Indeed, with a length of up to 11 mm and a width of up to 7.5 mm, D. macropetala produces the largest petals known in the D. microphylla complex. Only D. calycina sometimes produces similar-sized (but usually distinctly narrower) petals."
