  • 1. Department of Botany, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, UK

Description

Hedysarum violaceum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 749. 1753.

"Habitat in Virginia." RCN: 5521.

Lectotype (Clewell in Rhodora 68: 390, 392. 1966): Kalm, Herb. Linn. No. 921.41 (LINN; iso- UPS, BM).

Current name: Lespedeza violacea (L.) Pers. (Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: See extensive discussion by Reveal & Barrie (in Phytologia 71: 456-461. 1991) where they conclude that the lectotype belongs to what has been known as L. intermedia Britton, for which L. violacea becomes the correct name.
