« The synonymy of this species appears to have been involved in considerable uncertainty. According 

 to a recognized rule of nomenclature, the oldest name (a trinomial) applied to the tree can not be taken up. 

 During the last 25 years the following names and combinations have been applied: Fagus Americana 

 Sweet (1826); Fagus latifolia (Muenchhausen) Loudon; Fagus atropunicea (Marshall) Sudworth; Fagus 

 ftTTuginea Aiton (1789). The latter name is the one by which it was previously long known. Fagus 

 grandifolia Ehrhart (1787) appears to be the oldest binomial applied to the American Beech and it should, 

 therefore, be maintained.
