Bot.: 176. 1929).   Note:Fawcett & Rendle ( Fl. Jamaica4: 47. 1920) treated material in LINN and in Herb. Hermann ( BM)as type. Verdcourt (in Milne-Redhead & Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Leguminosae4: 515. 1971), followed by several other authors, indicated material in Herb. Hermann 3: 13, 20; 4: 49 ( BM)as syntypes, but gave no indication of intending to lectotypify the name. Fantz (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard.67: 592. 1980) indicated 902.1 (LINN) as type but this lacks a  Species Plantarumnumber (i.e. "1"), was a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and is not original material for the name. Wijnands (who chose Clifford material) appears to have been the first to make an explicit type choice. 2612073085 BM BM-000646600 lectotype
