79 Britton and Shafer (op. cit., 510) have adopted for Prunus myrtifolia Urban " Laurocerasus myrtifolia 

 (Linnaeus) Britton." 



80 This cherry was formerly considered a varietal form of Prunus ilicifolia (Nuttall) Walpers. Later 

 study, however, has shown it to be specifically distinct, and also that the varietal name integrifolia Sud- 

 worth is in conflict with Prunus integrifolia Walpers, published long ago and applied to a different cherry. 

 This discovery made it necessary to rename the tree Prunus lyonii (Eastwood) Sargent, which is based on 

 Cerasus Lyoni Eastwood (Handbook Trees of Calif. 54, 1905). Britton and Shafer (op. cit., 512), treating 

 the evergreen-leaved cherries as generically distinct from the deciduous-leafed species, designated this 

 species as Laurocerasis Lyoni (Eastwood) Britton.
