quite as commo rance, Germany, and Belgium, as in Britain. 
I do not think Sera in Britain would be inclined to follow Nyman 
in keeping up R. Wahlbergii Arrh. as a distinet primary type. In 
Blytt’s ‘Norges Flora,’ vol. iii. p. 1167, Dr. Areschoug keeps up 
the name R. maximus Linn. Westgotharesan, p. 113, citing under

has long geste over corylifolius ; but the book is a few years prior
