The North American species are known as Buckeyes and the Eurasian species as Horse-chestnuts^wp. Some are also called "White Chestnut" or "Red Chestnut" (as in some of the Bach flower remedies. In Britain, they are sometimes called "Conker trees" because of their link with the game of Conkers ).^wp
