Subspecies and varieties |
-- The taxon named Q. x hispanica Lam. 1783, hybrid between Q. cerris and Q. suber must be renamed, following the work of F.M. Vázquez, A. Coombes & al. 2018 ; the new name is Q. x crenata Lam. 1785 : see this word -- Q. x turneri
A.DC (not Willd.) is synonym of Q. x crenata,
whereas the species named Q. x turneri Willd. is
actually a cultivar (= Quercus 'Turneri') of an
artificial hybrid between Q. ilex and Q. robur (see the
description here); but
for Govaerts & Frodin, 1998, Q. turneri A.DC is synonym of
Q. x pseudoturneri C.K.Schneider, while this name is considered
everywhere as synonym of the cultivar 'Turneri' ! |
