7a. Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K.Koch subsp. virginiana

Carpinus virginica Münchh., Der Hausvater 5 (1): 120 ( Münchhausen 1770) orth. var. – O. carpinifolia var. virginica (Münchh.) Fliche , Bulletin de la Société botanique de France 35: 166 ( Fliche 1888). – Note: Münchhausen misspelled the name given by Miller.

Carpinus triflora Moench, Methodus : 694 ( Moench 1794). – Type: not localized. – Note: the protologue does not state any locality, and Moench’s herbarium is destroyed ( Stafleu & Cowan 1976 –1988).

O. americana F.Michx., Histoire des Arbres Forestiers de l’Amérique Septentrionale 3 (1): 54 ( Michaux 1812) nom. inval. – Associated material: A Canada ad Carolinam montosam, s. coll., s.n. (P06810885!). – Note: while Michaux briefly mentions an “ Ostrya americana ”, he apparently does not consider it to be a species different from “ Carpinus ostrya ” ( Ostrya carpinifolia ). The name is not mentioned in the index either, so the name is rather to be interpreted as meaning the plants from America. The associated material by Michaux also suggests that.

O. virginica var. eglandulosa Spach, Annales des sciences naturelles, Botanique ser. 2 16: 246 ( Spach 1841b). – Type: Cult. at Trianon Garden, 1833, s. coll., s.n.

O. ostrya (L.) MacMill., The Metaspermae of the Minnesota Valley: 287 ( MacMillan 1892) nom. inval. (tautonym), p.p. – Note: MacMillan referred only to the Virginian part of Linnaeus’ Carpinus ostrya L., but he produced a tautonym, which is not valid according to Art. 23.4 of the ICN ( McNeill et al. 2012).

O. virginiana var. lasia Fernald , Rhodora 38: 414 ( Fernald 1936). – O. virginiana subsp. lasia (Fernald) A.E.Murray , Kalmia 12: 22 ( Murray 1982). – Type: USA, Florida, Columbia Co., Lake City, 11–19 Jul. 1895, G.V.
