Genus: Hedera
Family: Araliaceae subfamily: Aralioideae.
Nomen number: 409418
Place of publication: Trees shrubs Brit. Isles 1:609. 1914 (É. Carrière, Rev. Hort. 62:163. 1890, nom. inval.)
Comment: Carrière did not provide a description or diagnosis to validly publish H. hibernica independent of his H. hibernica aureo-marginata and H. hibernica marginata, both of which were described, so none of these names was validly published under Vienna ICBN Art. 43.1, and thus Art. 33.3 cannot be applied to base the species on Kirchner's basionym
