R. sempervirens var. Leschenaltiana, Thory et Redouté...
Western Peninsula; Nilghiri and Pulney Mts.
Very closely allied indeed to R. brevicuspis, and I believe only a variety of that plant, itself too near sempervirens; it differes in being more glandular, leaflets less acuminate, larger sepals and petals, the latter of which are pubscent only before expansion.
