Mimosa pennata L., Sp. Pl. 1: 522 (1753)
Name Status. Non-Current Name
Name Type. Basionym Source. Maslin (2012: 466)
Accepted Name. Senegalia pennata (L.) Maslin
Notes. Jarvis (2007: 676) notes that Brenan & Exell (1957: 101) treated Hermann material at BM from Ceylon [= Sri Lanka] as the type, but they did not distinguish between the specimens in vol. 3: 7 and vol. 4: 37. However, as that material appears to be part of a single gathering, Brenan & Exell are accepted by Jarvis (l.c.) as having typified the name (Art. 9.15), with their original choice restricted to the material in vol. 3 by Nielsen (1981: 66) [who inadvertently treated Herb. Herman 3: 7, no. 216 as holotype, not lectotype]. Ross (1980: 108, f. 17) reproduces the Burman plate cited by Linnaeus in the protologue.
