Crotalaria triflora
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
2
: 715. 1753
.
"Habitat in Asia. D. Royen." RCN: 5255.
Neotype
(Campbell & Van Wyk in
S. African J. Bot.
67: 127. 2001): Herb. Linn. No. 895.16 (
LINN
)
.
Current name:
Rafnia triflora
(L.) Thunb.
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Campbell & Van Wyk designated 895.16 (LINN) as
lectotype
, a collection that lacks a
Species Plantarum
number (i.e.
"5"
) and is therefore almost certainly a post-1753 addition to the collection, and not original material for the name. However, in the absence of any original material, their choice is interpreted as a neotypification (Art. 9.8).
