Zusammenfassung:The name for the yellow buckeye, Aesculus octandra Marshall (1785), has been in general use since publication of Robinson and Female's seventh edition of Gray's New Manual of Botany (1908). Earlier, the name A. flava Alton (1789) had been in general use for this tree of the southern Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States. More recently, it has been shown that the name A. flava Sol. was effectively published in 1778 and has priority as the oldest valid name for this well-known tree.
