Astragalus pentaglottis Linnaeus, Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 274. 1771, nom. illeg.

"Habitat in Hispania." RCN: 5594.

Replaced synonym: Astragalus echinatus Murray (1770) .

Type not designated.

Current name: Astragalus echinatus Murray ( Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: Linnaeus included A. echinatus Murray (1770) within his protologue so A. pentaglottis is illegitimate. See discussion by Lacaita (in J. Bot. 50: 220. 1912) on the confusion between this and A. epiglottis L. (1753) .
