Lathyrus sativus
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 730. 1753
.
"Habitat in Hispania, Gallia." RCN: 5389.
Lectotype
(Westphal,
Pulses Ethiopia, Taxon. Agric. Signif.
: 104, 106. 1974): Herb. Clifford: 367,
Lathyrus
4 (
BM
)
.
Current name:
Lathyrus sativus
L.
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Although Ali (in
Biologia (Lahore)
11(2): 7. 1965) indicated 905.6 (LINN) as
"type"
, and a Clifford collection (BM) incorrectly as an
isotype
(they are evidently not part of a single gathering), 905.6 (LINN) lacks the
Species Plantarum
number (i.e.
"5"
) and was a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and is not original material for the name. Westphal subsequently designated the Clifford material as
lectotype
.
