Cornus florida Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 117. 1753.

"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 959.

Lectotype (designated here by Reveal, Barrie & Jarvis): Clayton 23 (BM), see p. 198 in colour, and above, right.

Current name: Cornus florida L. ( Cornaceae).

Note: Holub (in Zprávy Českoslov . Bot. Společn . Českoslov . Akad. Věd . 17: 12. 1982) indicated both 151.1 and 151.2 (LINN) as “Typus” but as these are evidently not part of a single gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply. Clayton 57 (BM), the lectotype, is reproduced by Gaden (in Virginia Explorer 15: 24. 1999).
