Spartium junceum Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 708. 1753.

"Habitat in G. Narbonensi, Italia, Sicilia, Turcia." RCN: 5189.

Lectotype (Elkington in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 90. 1993): Herb. Clifford: 356, Spartium 1, sheet 1 (BM-000646559; iso- BM) .

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

Current name: Spartium junceum L. View in CoL ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ).

Note: Jafri (in Jafri & El-Gadi, Fl. Libya 86: 27. 1980) indicated 891.5 (LINN) as type, but this sheet lacks the Species Plantarum number (i.e. “1”) and is a post-1753 addition to the collection. It is not original material for the name. Rechinger & Ali (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 157: 27. 1984) indicated unspecified Clifford material as type. Elkington’s choice provides the first unequivocal typification.
