Add Note (1890): Eric Gouda (2008-01-21) - It seems to be one of the species of the R.spiculosa complex
Add Note (1890): Harry Luther (2008-01-22) - Racinaea spiculosa var. micrantha. HEL
Add Note (1890): Walter Till (2008-01-22) - Racinaea spiculosa despite of the pendent inflorescence
Add Note (1890): Matthias Asmuss (2008-02-06) - R. spiculosa: the capsules are tearing down the whole spike (=pendant inflorescence) but who can tell if we deal with var. spiculosa or var. micrantha ? If I revise the descriptions micrantha has more spotted leaves than spiculosa does and the identification should be var. micrantha ?
