Allied to r. semper vireus, C. Koch, and F. punctatum, Ham. I 

 have followed out the w^ell-devised arrangement lately proposed by 

 Maximowicz (Mel. biol. Acad. St. Petersb. x. 644 sqq). According 

 to that of Oersted (Vidensk. Meddel. naturhist. Foren. Kjobenh. 

 1860, 296), the plant stands in the subgenus Euvihmmm, section i. 

 § Sloaneifolia.
