Note from Bradleya 13
This form has somewhat angular or swollen and bristly ultimate stem-segments. It is particularly common near the coast (ter¬restrial in sand of the restinga, also epilithic and epiphytic) and there takes on the appear¬ance of R. cereuscula, with which it has been in part confused by Scheinvar (1985: 262).
