Indigofera trifoliata
Linnaeus
,
Centuria II Plantarum
: 29. 1756
.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 5546.
Lectotype
(Ali in
Bot. Not.
111: 552. 1958; Sanjappa in Turland & Jarvis in
Taxon
46: 474. 1997): Herb. Linn. No. 923.3, right specimen (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Indigofera trifoliata
L.
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Ali (in
Bot. Not.
111: 552. 1958), followed by other authors, designated the whole sheet 923.3 (LINN) as the type. However, subsequent study has shown this sheet to bear a mixture of materials and Sanjappa therefore restricted
Ali's
original choice to that part of the material that corresponds with
I. trifoliata
of usage.
