Cassia alata Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 378. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in America calidiore." RCN: 2976.

Lectotype (Isely in Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 25(2): 197. 1975): Herb. Clifford: 158, Cassia 3 (BM-000558725) .

Current name: Senna alata (L.) Roxb. View in CoL ( Fabaceae : Caesalpinioideae ).

Note: As noted by Isely (in Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 25: 197. 1975), de Wit (in Webbia 11: 232. 1956) wrongly designated a Patrick Browne collection in LINN, not received by Linnaeus until 1758, as lectotype. Brenan (in Milne-Redhead & Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Leguminosae 2: 64 (1967) indicated Clifford material (BM) as a syntype. Most later authors have accepted the Clifford material as lectotype and Isely’s is the earliest formal typification.
