Lectotype
(Fawcett & Rendle,
Fl. Jamaica
4: 39. 1920; Pedley in Turland & Jarvis in
Taxon
46: 472. 1997): Herb. Hermann 4: 18, No. 286, left specimen (BM-000628081)
.
Current name:
Desmodium triquetrum

DC. (
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Fawcett & Rendle (
Fl. Jamaica
4: 39. 1920) indicated Herb. Hermann material (BM) as type. Although there is material in more than one volume, it appears to have been part of a single gathering. Consequently, theirs is accepted as the first typification (Art. 9.15), with the choice subsequently restricted by Pedley. The choice of
Herb. Linn. 921.20 (
LINN
)
by Dy Phon (in Morat,
Fl. Cambodge Laos
Vietnam
27: 52. 1994) post-dates that of Fawcett & Rendle.
