Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. Description of the genus by Südkamp 2017, p. 116: "The small cup is conical. The long slender arms are unbranched or may have a single isotomous division high above the cup. So, there are 7 - 10 arms present. Between the long, stout alternating ramules there are two brachials. The anal sac is large and elongate and consists of several vertical rows of small hexagonal plates." There are two species known: R. ramosissimus and R. lobatus. The difference is respectively in their round and similar, and pentagonal alternate, stems. The cup of R. lobatus is more tapered. Common in the Rosengarten quarry. Elsewhere very rare or absent. Identified by oilshale. References: Schmidt, W. E. (1934). Die Crinoideen des Rheinischen Devons.

Taxonomy from Fossilworks.org. Description from Südkamp 2017, p. 118: " The cup is small and the crown elongate ovoid,. The uniserial robust arms divide after the third primibrach isotomously. In total, there are at least three bifurcations. The amount of brachials between the higher divisions increases. The round arms rejuvenate especially after the third division and form long, thin whip-like terminations. As in Codiacrinus these terminations are often enrolled. The upper round stem is wide and consists of low elements. The distal stem consists of alternate high elements. Many specimens have medially and distally long cirri, which rise on both sides and can divide more times." Identified by oilshale. References: Follmann, O. (1887) Unterdevonische Crinoidea.
