Talk:Fagus grandifolia

Beech Species

Is there any reason why this article, Mexican Beech, and Oriental Beech are titled by their common names, unlike the Japanese Beech and the Taiwan Beech which go by their scientific names? I'm no dendrologist, but it seems totally inconsistent with the rest of the wikipedia's articles on trees. UltraBibendum (talk) 02:14, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Photos needed

Hey, readers and editors. If you have access to American beech trees and a good camera, this article could use better pictures of the leaves (say, a close-up of one leaf on a beech tree in sunlight) and nuts (a closeup of a split open nut husk with the nut inside). The current pictures of leaves and nuts aren't that good, and there aren't any better ones on Wikimedia Commons. — Eru·tuon 20:12, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Fagus grandiflora?

Google has also massively the name Fagus grandiflora or Fagus grandiflora var. mexicana, adequacy?--Estopedist1 (talk) 08:48, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

@Estopedist1: not sure what you mean by "adequacy", but, yes, it's a common typo it seems. There's a nice example here, where the title has the correct epithet grandifolia but the text has the erroneous grandiflora. Google Scholar gives me 462 hits (including citations) for the erroneous Fagus grandiflora and 22,900 for the correct Fagus grandifolia. The erroneous name does appear with one record in GBIF.
