Most important morphological characters:

Medium-sized (slim) plant with oblanceolate, subsessile or petiolate, irregularly toothed (1–3 long teeth) cauline leaves. Most developed basal cycle leaves small to medium-sized with angle 60–120° of leaf base, with 3-lobed leaf blade, where lateral lobes divided or even dissected, therefore leaves look round resembling small leaves of R. acris from which differs from other similar species of this group ( R. attingens , R. antygophyllus ). All flowers have developed petals.

Distribution and ecology in Latvia: Occurs very rarely in the whole territory of Latvia. Grows mainly in old manor parks (Budberga, Graši) as well as in different grasslands – pastures, alluvial grasslands (Nereta, Randu plavas) and other places.
