Ononis tridentata var. intermedia f. erecta Willkomm

Willkomm (in Willkomm & Lange 1877: 413) mentioned in the protologue of the name O. tridentata b [var.] intermedia α [f.] erecta “pedalis et ultra, ramis erectis, flexuosis simplicibus aut patule ramulosis, pedunculis brevibus, laciniis calyc. tubo duplo longioribus, vexilo is triente longiore ( O. tridentata Coss. ap. Bourg. pl. exs. n. 1122! Cicer sylv. fruticans incanum angustifolium serratum fl. purp. Hispan. Barr. Ic. 299!)” and “in Catal. c. Cardona, Manresa, Vich, Csta.! Aragon. australi en el Barranco del Maduro, Pardo! in regno Murc. pr. Beniajam, Guir.! Lge.! Granat. pr. Vera, Bourg.! inter Baza et Cullar de Baza. Wk.”. The specimen with barcode COI00053676 match with the gathering cited in the protologue as “Catal. c. Cardona, Manresa, Vich, Csta.!”. This material is a branch, with leaves and flowers, accompanied by a handwritten label, annotated as: “193 / A. [Antonio] C. [Cipriano] Costa / Ononis tridentata L. / Cardona, Manresa. Vich. / Junio – Legit.” 193 / A. [Antonio] C. [Cipriano] Costa / Ononis tridentata L. / Cardona, Manresa. Vich. / June – Legit.” ( Fig. 10 ). There is at P, with barcode P03447663, another specimem collected in 1856 by Costa in “Cardona, Vich” which can probably be treated as a duplicate of the specimen at COI.

On the other hand, there are three sheets at P, with barcodes P03447772, P03447659 and P03447662 that contain specimens belonging to the gathering mentioned in the protologue as “Granat. pr. Vera, Bourg.!”. These three specimens are accompanied by a printed label “ E. Bourgeau, P. d’Espagne, 1851 / 1122. Ononis tridentata , L. / (Coss.) / Bords de la rivière à Vera (province de Grenade). / 15 Avril.” .

Finally, there is a specimen at COI, barcode COI00053672 which is part of the gathering cited in the protologue as “in regno Murc. pr. Beniajam, Guir.!”. This material, two stems, with leaves and flowers, is accompanied by a label handwritten by Willkomm “ Ononis tridentata L. / b. intermedia Lge. / α. erecta .” and an original label of A. Guirao, annotated as “Herbarium A. Guirao / Ononis crassifolia Duf. ined. / O. tridentata β. canescens / Ipse legi sponte cresc. in collibus argi- / lloso-gypsaceis ad Beniajan pr. / Murcia et alibi. / Leg. Maj. 1851”. There is a duplicate of this specimen at P (barcode P03447782). These all specimens are syntypes of O. tridentata b [var.] intermedia α [f.] erecta .
