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).
