Comment:

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