Betula viridis Chaix, Plantae Vapincenses 70. 1785.
Betula alnobetula Ehrhart, Gartenkalender 2: 193. 1783.
NOTE: Until recently, Ehrhart’s name was believed to have been published in a different journal in 1788, making it junior to Chaix’s name published in 1785. Thus, most authorities use Chaix’s name. So far, only German & Austrian sources use Ehrhart’s name for this species.
