Flora of British India places this species in a group with entire leaves with a note sometimes lobed in R. pulchellus. As such entire leaves are a rule and lobed an aberration. I have many more specimens of this from Ladakh near Leh. Flora of China also writes leaves sometimes three-lobed. Please read the key from 64 to 67 carefully.
