Report from the Oak ICRA checklist
Full Name: - Quercus mespilifolia
| Quercus mespilifolia Wall. ex A. DC. A. P. de Candolle, Prodr. 16(2): 101 (1864) |
| Infrageneric Classification Subgenus Cerris, Section Cyclobalanopsis |
| Nomenclature Note Q. mespilifolia was first mentioned as a nomen nudum in Wallich's Catalogue (no. 2766, 1828). It extends from S.W. China (Yunnan) to the Northern parts of Burma, Laos and Vietnam (Tonkin). In 1935, A. Camus renamed this species Q. mespilifolioides, as she was of the opinion that Wallich's name was invalidly published. In 1864, however, A. DeCandolle validated Wallich's name, so that Q. mespilifolioides A. Camus is a superfluous name for Wallich's species. |
