Quercus ×benkoei Mátyás
Full name:
Quercus ×benkoei Mátyás, Acta Bot. Acad. Sci. Hung., 16(3-4): 345 (1970) Unplaced. is an accepted name.
Infrageneric Classification:
Subgenus Quercus, Section Quercus
Parentage:
Q. aurea Wierzb. × Q. petraea (Matt.) Liebl.
Nomenclature Note:
Formerly spelled Q. ×benkoi. But following Art. 60.6 of the ICN (2011) the ö (in Benkö), must be modified to oe (Q. ×benkoei). The name is currently unplaced, as Q. ×barnova (1966) has priority as the name for the hybrid between Q. aurea × Q. petraea. When Q. ×barnova nothosubsp. benkoei (in prep.) is published, this will become its synonym.
