Typification of Onobrychis tenoreana

Two interesting Onobrychis specimens, bearing the localities reported Lacaita (1911: 276) in the protologue, are preserved at BM: one from Mt. Finestra (BM000824000) and another one from Mt. Cerealto (= Mt. Cervialto) (without barcode). However, the latter specimen is a syntype extensively reported in the protologue, so that it is to be preferred as lectotype (Art. 9.12 of ICN). Note that the name O. tenoreana does not appear on this sheet and the original Lacaita’s label reports O. alba . However, there is another label (Lacaita’s handwriting) with “ Onobrychis laconica Orph. | momento [= on suggestion by] Handel-Mazzetti | adsentio [= I agree] CCL [= C. C. Lacaita]”. Finally, a identification was also given by Širjaev in 1928 on a further label. This specimen is represented by a flowering and well preserved individual and, on the basis of the calyx length (about the half than corolla) and the colour of the corolla (pinkish), it is identifiable as O. alba subsp. pentelica . According to several field surveys by us on Mt. Finestra and Mt. Cervialto, this is the only occurring taxon of this group.
