Notes

The distinction of R. stellatus (basal leaves dentate, radiating phyllaries usually 8, long) and R. edulis (basal leaves with large suborbicular terminal lobe, radiating phyllaries 5-6, shorter) is accepted here. However, several intermediate forms have been noted with no geographical separation.
