Acer caudatum

Modern name

see A. papilio

From the Supplement (Vol. V)

The name A. caudatum, rejected as ambiguous in the note under A. papilio on page 220, is upheld by Dr Hiroshi Hara in Journ. Jap. Bot., Vol. 50, p. 268 (1975). While it is the case that there is no specimen of A. caudatum in the sense of A. papilio among the Wallich specimens under his No. 1225 in the Wallich Herbarium at Kew, there is one in the British Museum Herbarium, and this is chosen by Dr Hara as the lectotype of A. caudatum Wall.

Modern name

Some names used by Bean have now been superseded and are no longer familiar. To ensure that all plants can be easily found, under any name, we have cross-referenced to The Plant List, a collaboration between RBG Kew, Missouri Botanical Gardens and other organisations, which aims to provide a currently accepted name for any plant. Not all taxonomists will agree with all Plant List nomenclature, but it provides a baseline to compare names. For each species above, clicking on the Modern Name will link to the entry for that name on The Plant List website.
