Treatment

Tamarindus indica Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 1: 34. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in India, America, Aegypto, Arabia." RCN: 271.

Lectotype (Jansen, Spices, Condiments Med. Pl Ethiopia:. 249. 1981): Herb. Linn. No. 49.2 ( LINN) .

Generitype of Tamarindus Linnaeus.

Current name: Tamarindus indica L. View in CoL ( Fabaceae : Caesalpinioideae ).

Note: Fawcett & Rendle (Fl. Jamaica 4: 119. 1920), and a number of later authors, indicated unspecified material at LINN as the type, but failed to distinguish between sheets 49.1, 49.2 and 49.3. These are not part of the same gathering so Art. 9.15 does not apply. Larsen & Larsen (in Aubréville & Leroy, Fl. Cambodge Laos Viêt-Nam 18: 146. 1980) indicated 49.1 (LINN) as type but it lacks the Species Plantarum number (i.e. “1”) and is not original material for the name. Jansen’s choice, also made independently by Polhill (in Jarvis & al., Regnum Veg. 127: 92. 1993), is accepted here.
