Picea abies
The basionym of the name "Picea abies" (the Norway spruce) is "Pinus abies". The species was originally named "Pinus abies" by Carl Linnaeus and so the author citation of the basionym is simply "L." Later on, botanist Gustav Karl Wilhelm Hermann Karsten decided this species should not be grouped in the same genus ("Pinus") as the pines, so he transferred it to the genus "Picea" (the spruces). The new name "Picea abies" is "combinatio nova", a new combination (abbreviated "comb. nov."). With author citation, the current name is ""Picea abies" (L.) Karst."
