Wood plant seems nearer to R. Lettei than to R. criniger or R. 

 Gelertiu From the very constant plant of Counties Down and 

 Armagh [jR. Lettei] it differs by closer pubescence on the stem, 

 being in that one character most like R. criniger ; by the leaf more 

 open and widespread, with whitish instead of greenish-grey felt on 

 the under surface, and with the terminal leaflet with longer, more 

 gradually acuminate point and narrower base, the toothing also 

 being deeper and more finely pointed ; and by the much longer 

 ultra- axillary panicle top. These characters, though not very 

 distinctive when taken singly, give in combination a considerably 

 different look in the two plants, and each form seems constant to a 

 remarkable degree." First found in 1900.
