Crotalaria imbricata Linnaeus, Plantae Rariores Africanae: 16. 1760.

["Habitat ad Cap. b. spei."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 2: 1004 (1763). RCN: 5252.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Burman, 4 sheets (G) .

Current name: Amphithalea imbricata (L.) Druce ( Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: Granby (Opera Bot. 80: 16. 1985) selected 890.2 (LINN) as lectotype but the specimen is annotated only with "Borbonia tomentosa" by Linnaeus, and shows no sign of being associated with C. imbricata . It is therefore not original material for the name.
