Liparia umbellata Linnaeus, Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 269. 1771.

RCN: 5182.

Type not designated.

Original material: none traced.

Current name: Liparia laevigata (L.) Thunb. ( Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: Linnaeus gave the alternative name Borbonia umbellata (seemingly not published elsewhere) in the protologue, and this was repeated in Syst. Veg., ed. 13: 554 (1774). Neither this name nor B. umbellata is invalid, having been published pre-1953 (Art. 34.2). Dahlgren (in Opera Bot. 22: 101. 1968), however, treated it as invalid ("should not be considered from the point of view of nomenclature"), and Schutte & Van Wyk (in Taxon 43: 579. 1994) and Schutte (in Nordic J. Bot. 17: 29. 1997) treat this as an illegitimate name, synonymous with Liparia laevigata (L.) Thunb.
