Current name:
Robinia pseudoacacia

Note:
Polhill (in Bosser & al.,
Fl. Mascareignes
80: 80. 1990) indicated 913.1 (LINN) as type, but this sheet lacks the
Species Plantarum
number (i.e.
"1"
) and is a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and not original material for the name. Brummitt & Taylor (in
Taxon
39: 303. 1990) discussed the orthography of the specific epithet, concluding that
"pseudoacacia"
is correct.
