Mimosa intsia
Linnaeus
,
Species Plantarum
1
: 522. 1753
.
"Habitat in India." RCN: 7690.
Lectotype
(Rico in Turland & Jarvis in
Taxon
46: 476. 1997): [icon]
"Intsia"
in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 6: 7, t. 4. 1686.
Current name:
Acacia intsia
(L.) Willd.
(
Fabaceae
:
Mimosoideae
).
Note:
Ali (in
Taxon
16: 237. 1967) indicated a specimen in
Herb. Sloane 95: 5 (
BM-SL
)
as the
lectotype
, when in fact only the corresponding illustration by Plukenet (
Phytographia
t. 122, f. 2. 1692), cited in the protologue, is eligible as such. In fact, this material does not support current usage, and for this reason, Rico designated a Rheede illustration as
lectotype
.
