Crotalaria juncea
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum

: 714. 1753
.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 5251.
Lectotype
(Fawcett & Rendle,
Fl. Jamaica
4: 8. 1920): Herb. Linn. No. 895.11 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Crotalaria juncea
L.
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Fawcett & Rendle (
Fl. Jamaica
4: 8. 1920) stated "Type in Herb. Linn." and as there is only a single sheet directly associated with this name, theirs is accepted as the earliest typification. Although some authors (e.g. Polhill in Milne-Redhead & Polhill,
Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Leguminosae
4: 950. 1971) have treated Clifford material as the type, this choice is pre-dated by that of Fawcett & Rendle.
