 Comments
       
  Comment: 'Malus domestica Borkh. (1803), when proposed as a replacement name for Pyrus malus L. (1753), was superfluous for Malus communis Desf. (1798). Qian & al.'s (Taxon 59: 650-652. 2010) proposal to treat the name M. domestica as a new combination and to conserve it (against M. pumila, M. communis, M. frutescens, and Pyrus dioica) was approved at the Shenzhen Botanical Congress held in Jul 2017' (IPNI, 2021)
