"Habitat in India." RCN: 5549. Lectotype (Rudd in Dassanayake & Fosberg, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 7: 120. 1991): [icon] " Hedysarum prostratum " in Burman, Fl. Indica: 168, t. 55, f. 1. 1768. Current name: Indigofera linnaei Ali ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ). Note: Ali (in Bot. Not. 111: 550. 1958) discussed this name, concluding (in Nasir & Ali, Fl. W. Pakistan 100: 76. 1977) that the type was material in Plukenet's herbarium (Herb. Sloane 95: 186, BM). Although this choice was followed by several other authors, this collection was not seen by Linnaeus and is not original material for the name.
