In the protologue of
Crotalaria laeta
,
Bentham (1859)
mentioned two collections: “
Habitat in pascuis amoensis serenis prov. Piauhiensis: M
” and “
Gardner n. 2103”
. Windler assigned the material in M (collected by Martius) as
lectotype
. Although this material actually corresponds to
C. laeta
, it was also included by
Bentham (1859)
among the
syntypes
of
C. vitellina
var.
glabrata
. As the material of Gardner in K most closely resembles the original description and is more complete as it has flowers and fruits, we designate it here as
lectotype
.
