Lotus corniculatus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 775. 1753.

"Habitat in Europa." RCN: 5699.

Lectotype ( Chrtková-Zertová in Rozpr. Cesk. Akad. Ved., Mat. Prír. 83(4): 28, f. 3. 1973): Herb. Linn. No. 931.23 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Lotus Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 177. 1929).

Current name: Lotus corniculatus L. View in CoL ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ).

Note: Heyn (in Davis, Fl. Turkey 3: 526. 1970) indicated non-fruiting material in the Clifford herbarium as type, but did not distinguish between the two sheets (Herb. Clifford: 372, Lotus 6A; 6B) preserved there. As they are evidently not part of the same gathering, Art. 9.15 does not apply. Chrtková-Zertová (in Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien 75: 34. 1971) identified this material as L. uliginosus Schkuhr , and subsequently (1973) made an explicit type choice.
