Distinguishing Features
A luxuriant and infrequent species of wet coasts and exceedingly moist canyon microhabitats, R. obtusiloba is a much branched plant with triangular shoots 5-10 cm long and free from the rocks and logs from which they typically grow. Up close, you should see branches emerging out of every leaf along the main stem, producing a feather-like form.
