The auricles of R. auriculatum occur lower on the lateral lobes. In R. racemosum the lateral lobes taper abruptly into the settae, which would be what has been interpreted as the lobes. R. auriculatum should also have a full row of hairs below the "V" whereas R. racemosum has an incomplete row of hairs (somewhat visible in the pictures).
