Note:
Gillett (in Milne-Redhead & Polhill,
Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Leguminosae
4: 1048. 1971) indicated the specimen in
Herb. Linn. No. 931.11 (
LINN
)
as the
lectotype
, but this cannot be regarded as relevant original material because there is nothing in
Linnaeus'
annotation of the sheet to link it with
L. arabicus
.
