This is the entry from Index Kewensis:
Corylaceae Carpinus turczaninovii Hance -- in Journ. Linn. Soc. x. (1869)

Other authors of other species may have spelled it differently. The botanist
who is the eponym may have written it in Cyrillic.

Personally, I'm going to stick to Carpinus coreana. I can at
least pronounce that one. :-)
