Note: Reasons for inclusion: although not primarily botanical, there is a short description of the tree and the names given by Tournefort, hyppocastanum vulgare, and by Linnaeus, aesculus hyppocastanum. There is also a footnote on its introduction into France; the nearest date according to this author was the date the 2nd tree was planted at the Jardin des Plantes, 1656.
