Habitat: On soil in woodland with conifers, often (always?) on calcareous soil.

Notes: Re-examination of collections in herb. K has led to a revised distribution for R. gracilis, which is now known from England (Berkshire, Cambridgeshire, North-east Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, Surrey, West Lancashire, and West Norfolk) and Scotland (East Sutherland and Easterness). Collections from Warwickshire and the Channel Islands were misdetermined. Also reported from Herefordshire, Mid-west Yorkshire, North Somerset, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, West Gloucestershire, and Wales (Carmarthenshire) but unsubstantiated with voucher material.

Distribution: E: !, S: !, W: ?, Other: Channel Islands: !

Vouchers: England: K(M) 82114; Scotland: K(M) 155405; Other: Channel Islands: K(M) 91139
