Ohio HB418 corrects the Latin name of the Buckeye tree, the state tree of Ohio.

Ohio HB418 amends the state's Revised Code to correct the Latin name of the Buckeye tree, the state tree of Ohio. The bill changes the Latin name from Aesculus globra glabra to the correct Aesculus glabra. The Buckeye tree remains the official state tree, and the bill repeals the existing section 5.05 of the Revised Code to reflect this change.
