Hedysarum caput-galli
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 751. 1753
.
"Habitat in Galloprovinciae littoribus maris." RCN: 5541.
Lectotype
(Kit Tan & Strid in Turland & Jarvis in
Taxon
46: 471. 1997): Herb. Burser XIX: 135 (
UPS
)
.
Current name:
Onobrychis caput-galli
(L.) Lam.
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Jafri (in Jafri & El-Gadi,
Fl. Libya
86: 142. 1980) and Rechinger (
Fl. Iranica
157: 401. 1984) both treated 921.68 (LINN) as the type. However, this material came from Allioni and was received long after 1753. Kit Tan & Strid designated a specimen from the Burser herbarium, cited explicitly in
Linnaeus'
protologue (and hence a
syntype
), as
lectotype
.
