LINN
)
;
Loefling

,
Herb. Linn. No. 917.8 (

)
; [icon] in Bauhin & Cherler, Hist. Pl. Univ. 2: 351. 1651.
Current name:
Coronilla minima
L. subsp.
minima
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Although this name is in use, none of the original material appears to correspond with current usage. As noted by Turland & Jarvis (in
Taxon

,
Herb. Linn. No. 308.16 (
S
)
is identifiable as
C. minima
but was annotated as
C. coronata
by Linnaeus (and is in any case a post-1753 addition to the herbarium and not original material for
C. minima
). A conservation proposal may prove to be necessary.
