Prunus virginiana Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 473. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 3623.

Lectotype (Mackenzie in Rhodora 30: 235. 1928): Clayton s.n. (BM-000051704).

Current name: Prunus virginiana L. ( Rosaceae ).

Note: Fernald (in Rhodora 18: 141. 1916) discussed this name in some detail, but did not make a formal choice of type. Mackenzie appears to have been the first to do this in 1928. The taxonomically diverse elements contained within the protologue are discussed by Reveal & al. (in Huntia 7: 217. 1987) among others.
