- 1987 July, Frederick Gustav Meyer, James W. Hardin, “Status of the name Aesculus flava Solander (Hippocastanaceae)” (pages 335–341), in S. A. Spongberg, E. B. Schmidt, P. S. Ashton, K. S. Bawa, P. F. Stevens, C. E. Wood, Jr., editors, Journal of the Arnold Arboretum, volume 68, number 3, Lawrence: Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, →ISSN, →JSTOR, pages 338–339:
- This is important, since the brief protologus of A. flava published in the Edinburgh Catalogus included only the first four lines from Solander’s original manuscript (our translation of Solander’s protologue: “calyx ovate, half the length of the upper petal claws, blade cordate-subrotund, stamens curved”) and therefore was incomplete and is inadequate for typification.
