Cytisus pinnatus Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum 2: 741. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 5452.

Replaced synonym of: Robinia mitis L. (1763) , nom. illeg.

Lectotype (Smith, Fl. Vitiensis Nova 3: 170. 1985): [icon] "Phaseolo affinis Arbor Indica Coral dicta polyphyllos non spinosa, foliis mollibus subhirsutis" in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 104, f. 3. 1691; Almag. Bot.: 293. 1696.

Current name: Millettia pinnata (L.) Panigrahi View in CoL ( Fabaceae : Faboideae ).

Note: Merrill (in Philipp. J. Sci., C, 5: 101. 1910) took up Robinia mitis L. (1763) in place of this name and interpreted R. mitis via Herb. Linn. No. 913.3 ( LINN). Robinia mitis is, however, an illegitimate renaming of C. pinnatus and consequently the two names are homotypic. Although annotated with “mitis” by Linnaeus, sheet 913.3 (LINN) is not original material for C. pinnatus. Smith appears to have been the first to make a formal choice of type for C. pinnatus (and hence R. mitis ).
