Note: This binomial appears in a footnote at the end of an account of Lathyrus amphicarpus L., accompanied by a reference to a Clusius description and illustration. The binomial was previously attributed to Dorthes (in J. Phys. Chim. Hist. Nat. Arts 35: 131. 1789), but Romero Zarco has recently accepted Linnaeus’ statement as valid publication of the name and also lectotypified V. amphicarpa L.
