Trifolium angustifolium Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 769. 1753.

"Habitat in G. Narbonensi, Italia." RCN: 5663.

Lectotype (Lassen in Turland & Jarvis in Taxon 46: 481. 1997): Herb. Clifford: 375, Trifolium 14, sheet 2 (BM-000646747) .

Current name: Trifolium angustifolium L. ( Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: Zohary (in Candollea 27: 149. 1972), followed by several later authors, indicated material in Herb. Clifford (BM) as the lectotype, but it is unclear which of two possible specimens was meant, only one of which supports current usage. Lassen therefore designated as lectotype the sheet supporting current usage.
