The names Quercus ballota and Q. rotundifolia (Fagaceae), referring to taxa sometimes considered conspecific with the widely distributed Q. ilex , are discussed and typified. A specimen preserved at MPU is designated as the lectotype of Desfontaines's name Q. ballota . Lamarck's name Q. rotundifolia is neotypified using a specimen preserved at VAL, with several duplicates in other European herbaria.
