Hedysarum umbellatum Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 747. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 5510.

Lectotype (Fawcett & Rendle, Fl. Jamaica 4: 39. 1920; Pedley in Turland & Jarvis in Taxon 46: 473. 1997): Herb. Hermann 2: 26, No. 293 (BM-000621598) .

Current name: Desmodium umbellatum (L.) View in CoL DC. ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ).

Note: Fawcett & Rendle (FL Jamaica 4: 39. 1920) indicated Herb. Hermann material (BM) as type. Although there is material in more than one volume, it appears to have been part of a single gathering. Consequently, theirs is accepted as the first typification (Art. 9.15), with the choice subsequently restricted by Pedley. The choice of Herb. Linn. 921.28 ( LINN) by Dy Phon (in Morat, Fl. Cambodge Laos Viêtnam 27: 27. 1994) post-dates that of Fawcett & Rendle.
