Lectotype
(Lassen in Turland & Jarvis in
Taxon

Current name:
Lathyrus annuus
L.
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Meikle (
Fl. Cyprus
1: 569. 1977) indicated material at LINN as type, but did not distinguish between sheets 905.22 and 905.23. Other authors (e.g. Jafri in Jafri & El-Gadi,
Fl. Libya
86: 286. 1980) indicated both of these collections as the type. However, the two collections are evidently not part of a single gathering so Art. 9.15 does not apply, and
Lassen's
later type choice is therefore the earliest effective typification.
