Astragalus tragacanthoides
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 762. 1753
.
"Habitat in Sibiria, Armeria." RCN: 5616.
Lectotype
(Podlech in
Sendtnera
1: 271. 1993):
Gmelin s.n.
, Herb. Linn. No. 926.61 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Astragalus tragacanthoides
L.
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Chater (in
Feddes Repert.
79: 48. 1968) noted that the identity of this name was uncertain but that its description matched material in LINN which was neither a member of sect.
Myobroma
, nor a European species. With its subsequent typification by Podlech,
A. tragacanthoides
became the correct name for the species previously known as
A. fruticans
Pall. (1800)
.
