Trifolium alpinum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 767. 1753.

“Habitat in Alpibus Italicis, Helveticis, Pyrenaeis, Baldo.” RCN: 5651.

Lectotype (Lassen in Turland & Jarvis in Taxon 46: 481. 1997): Herb. Linn. No. 930.18 (LINN).

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

Note: Zohary & Heller ( Genus Trifolium: 108. 1984) designated the specimen Herb. Clifford: 499, Trifolium 23 (BM) as the lectotype (indicating that they had seen the material), and were followed by Muñoz Rodríguez (in Stud. Bot. Univ. Salamanca 14: 60. 1995). However, as no such specimen can be traced, Lassen designated an alternative lectotype.
