Richea sprengelioides (Ericaceae) 2:457
|
|
| Richea sprengelioides
is a common and widespread alpine or subalpine species
(especially in the central and eastern mountains). It has shorter,
broader leaves than R. acerosa.
It is, however, most readily confused with R.
procera, which is a lowland species in which the most mature
flowers are at the base. It can also be confused with Sprengelia
incarnata, which, however, lacks the circular leaf scars
around the stems.
