Bauhinia ungulata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 374. 1753.

"Habitat in America." RCN: 2950.

Lectotype (Wunderlin in Turland & Jarvis in Taxon 46: 466. 1997): Herb. Clifford: 157, Bauhinia 3 (BM-000558715) .

Current name: Bauhinia ungulata L. ( Fabaceae: Caesalpinioideae).

Note: Wunderlin (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 63: 349. 1976; 70: 124. 1983) indicated an unseen Miller specimen at BM as the lectotype, but this cannot be regarded as original material because Linnaeus did not study these specimens.
