Note:
Alavi (in Jafri & El Gadi,
Fl. Libya
107: 212. 1983) indicated 971.4 (LINN) as the type, and Petit (in
Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat., B,
Adansonia
, 9: 425. 1987) also treated it as a
syntype
. However, this specimen was received by Linnaeus from Allioni only in 1757, and is not original material for the name.
