Phaca baetica Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 755. 1753.

"Habitat in Hispania, Lusitania." RCN: 5569.

Lectotype (Podlech in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 75. 1993): [icon] " Astragalus Baeticus " in Clusius, Rar. Pl. Hist. 2: 233, 234. 1601.

Current name: Phaca baetica L. ( Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: Phaca baetica was treated as the generitype by Britton & Brown (Ill. Fl. N. U. S., ed. 2, 2: 385. 1913; see McNeill & al. in Taxon 36: 380. 1987). However, under Art. 10.5, Ex. 7 (a voted example) of the Vienna Code, this is a type choice made under the American Code and is to be replaced under Art. 10.5b by Green’s choice (Prop. Brit. Bot.: 176. 1929) of P. alpina L.
