Aspalathus chenopoda Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 711. 1753.

"Habitat in Aethiopia." RCN: 5218.

Lectotype (Polhill in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 21. 1993): Herb. Linn. No. 893.10 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Aspalathus Linnaeus (vide Green, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 174. 1929).

Current name: Aspalathus chenopoda L. View in CoL View at ENA ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ).

Note: Dahlgren (in Opera Bot. 8(1): 36; 9(1): 33. 1963; in Leistner, Fl. Southern Africa 16(3:6): 165. 1988) indicated two different Hermann specimens in Herb. Sloane (vol. 75: 33, BM-SL) as lectotype. However, as neither is original material for the name, Polhill’s choice provides the first valid typification.
