Cassia auriculata
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 379. 1753
.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 2980.
Lectotype
(Reveal in Turland & Jarvis in
Taxon
46: 466. 1997): Herb. Hermann 4: 20, No. 151 (BM-000628088)
.
Current name:
Senna auriculata
(L.) Roxb.
(
Fabaceae
:
Caesalpinioideae
).
Note:
De Wit (in
Webbia
11: 235. 1956) designated a
neotype
, overlooking that Hermann material (BM) was original material for the name. Brenan (in Milne-Redhead & Polhill,
Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Leguminosae
2: 76 (1967) and Rudd (in Dassanayake & Fosberg,
Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon
7: 79. 1991) treated the Hermann material (distributed over three pages in two volumes) as syntypes, and Reveal subsequently designated one of them as
lectotype
.
