1g. Carpinus betulus ‘ Fastigiata ’

C. betulus var. fastigiata hort. ex G.Nicholson, The Garden (London 1871–1927) 24: 419 ( Nicholson 1883). – C. betulus f. fastigiata (G.Nicholson) Schelle, Handbuch der Laubholzbenennung: 48 ( Beissner et al. 1903). – Original citation: No detailed data given. – Type: not localized. – Note: the branches of this cultivar are supposed to be “more ascending and the habit altogether more erect.” Beissner et al. (1903) do not refer to Nicholson, but basically describe the same cultivar, therefore Art. 41.4 ( McNeill et al. 2012) applies.

C. betulus [unranked] pyramidalis Dippel, Handbuch der Laubholzkunde 2: 140 ( Dippel 1891) [“1892”] nom. illegit. superfl. – C. betulus f. pyramidalis (Dippel) H.J.P.Winkl., Das Pflanzenreich IV 61 (Heft 19): 31 ( Winkler 1904) nom. illegit. superfl. – Note: Dippel (1891) and Winkler (1904) both cite C. betulus ‘Fastigiata’ as a synonym, therefore their names are superfluous.
