Abstract:The typifications of the scientific names of the common almond Amygdalus dulcis (≡ Prunus dulcis; Rosaceae, Prunoideae) and the Mediterranean almond tree A. webbii (≡ P. webbii), a wild relative of the common almond, are discussed. Amygdalus dulcis is neotypified on a specimen at VAL recently collected from a living tree of the variety of almond most similar to the original description. Amygdalus webbii is lectotypified on a specimen preserved at P collected by Pierre Martin Rémi Aucher‐Éloy.
