Corylus avellana
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 998. 1753
.
"Habitat in Europae sepibus." RCN: 7238.
Lectotype
(Sell in Jarvis & al.,
Regnum Veg.
127: 38. 1993): [icon] "
Avellana nux sylvestris
" in Fuchs, Hist. Stirp.: 397, 398. 1542.
Generitype
of
Corylus
Linnaeus
(vide Green,
Prop. Brit. Bot.
: 189. 1929).
Current name:
Corylus avellana
L.
(
Betulaceae
).
Note:
Browicz (in Rechinger,
Fl. Iranica
97: 4. 1972) indicated 1132.1 (LINN) as type but as this is annotated
"byzantinus"
by Linnaeus, and appears to be a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, it cannot be original material for the name.
