Astragalus sesameus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 759. 1753.

"Habitat in G. Narbonensi, Italia." RCN: 5593.

Lectotype (designated here by Podlech): [icon] " Astragalus annuus foliis & siliquis hirsutis, plurimis infoliorum alis sessilibus " in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 79, f. 3. 1691; Almag. Bot.: 60. 1696. - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 99: 137 ( BM-SL) .

Current name: Astragalus sesameus L. View in CoL View at ENA ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ).

Note: Gazer (in Sendtnera 1: 122. 1993) designated 926.24 (LINN) as lectotype, but the sheet lacks the relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “17”), was a post-1753 addition to the herbarium and is not original material for the name. This name was considered by Turland & Jarvis (in Taxon 46: 464. 1997) where it was to have been typified by Podlech using a Plukenet illustration. However, the omission of any reference to “type” rendered this ineffective. This type choice is validated here.
