"Habitat in Aegypto." RCN: 5329.
Lectotype
(Verdcourt in Milne-Redhead & Polhill,
Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Leguminosae
4: 696. 1971): [icon]
"
Phaseolus niger

in Alpino,
De Plantis Aegypti
: 74, 75. 1640.
Current name:
Lablab purpureus
(L.) Sweet subsp.
purpureus
(
Fabaceae
:
Faboideae
).
Note:
Fawcett & Rendle (
Fl. Jamaica
4: 70. 1920) indicated material in LINN as type but 900.1 (LINN) lacks the
Species Plantarum
number (i.e.
"1"
), was a later addition to the herbarium, and is not original material for the name. Although Westphal (
Pulses Ethiopia, Taxon. Agric. Signif.
: 97. 1974) rejected an earlier type choice of an Alpino illustration made by Verdcourt in favour of Burser material,
Verdcourt's
choice has priority.
