Description

Trifolium montanum Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 770. 1753.

"Habitat in pratis siccis Europae septentrionalis." RCN: 5676.

Lectotype (Jonsell & Jarvis in Nordic J. Bot. 22: 78. 2002): Herb. Linn. No. 930.56 (LINN).

Current name: Trifolium montanum L. subsp. montanum (Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: Zohary & Heller (Genus Trifolium: 228. 1984) indicated 930.56 (LINN) only doubtfully as the type so they cannot be accepted as having made an effective choice. Jonsell & Jarvis therefore made a formal typification.

Linnaeus erred in giving the same name to two different European species of Trifolium in Species Plantarum in 1753 (p. 770, No. 29 and p. 772, No. 37). Realising this, he renamed the latter T. spadiceum L. in 1755.
