Abstract
Du et al. (2023) produced a phylogeny of Cornus L. using three sets of genomic data, proposed a classification within the clade, and phylogenetically defined 13 clade names following the International Code of Phylogenetic Nomenclature (PhyloCode). However, the clade names were not fully established because no registration numbers were cited in the protologues, as required by the PhyloCode. That omission is remedied here, and expanded protologues are provided for the 13 names defined by Du et al. (2023). Ten of the 13 names are the same as those proposed by Du et al., (2023), while three names proposed by Du et al. (2023) are changed here (viz., Involucry to Involucratae, Bractishowy to Bractipetaloides, and Eurasiancherry to Eurasiamacrocarpium).
