Comment:

fide Telopea 9:427. 2001, when published this was an illegitimate, superfluous name (Shenzhen ICN 52) for Malus communis Desf. (1798), i.e. based on the same type (that of Pyrus malus L.)
now conserved (nom. cons.) against the heterotypic synonyms (Shenzhen ICN 14.4 & App. IV) M. communis, M. pumila, and five other names
