"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.
