Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part T), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 878-905 : 896

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.
