Vicia lens subsp. lamottei (Czefr.) H. Schaef. & al. ( ≡ Lens lamottei Czefr.).

− It: Wrongly mentioned for Italy in the Med-Checklist

( Greuter & al. 1989: 126), based on the alleged synonym Vicia lentoides (Ten.) Coss. & Germ. (in Fiori 1925: 935, as V. lens var. lentoides (Ten.) Fiori). Lens lamottei was later recorded for Italy (based on the Med-Checklist) and Sardinia by Pignatti & al. (2017). Recently, the species was reported for Italy, without a regional distribution, by Bartolucci & al. (2018), again based on the Med-Checklist. No other records from Italy and Sardinia are known. The name Vicia lentoides (≡ Ervum lentoides Ten.) was recently typified by Coulot & al. (2022) and should be regarded as having priority for the species hitherto known as V. nigricans (M. Bieb.) Coss. & Germ. (≡ Ervum nigricans M. Bieb. ). Consequently, V. lens subsp. lamottei is to be excluded from the Italian flora. F. Bartolucci & G. Galasso
