Synonyms
Spinus spinus

See Carduelis cannabina for comments on the generic placement of species in the genus Carduelis and related genera.

Note: the species epithet "spinus" is here interpreted as the poetic Latin word for the blackthorn (Prunus spinosa); (Latin: spinus, -i). It is therefore a noun in apposition that does not change its ending in relation to the gender of the genus name.
