larger achenes with relatively shorter strongly recurved style. From R. pedatifidus J. E. 

 Sm. {R. qffinis R. Br.) it differs in its glabrous achenes and less deeply and narrowly cleft 

 foliage. From R. alpeophilus A. Nelson it may be distinguished by its cordate leaves and 

 by the fact that the receptacle is villous only at the tip. Finally from R. allenii Robinson, 

 a plant of Labrador which in many ways it rather closely simulates, it differs in its cordate 

 leaves and somewhat larger achenes.
