Click to collapse Notes Info

editorial
Pallas 1776 mentions (lists) Melilotus officinalis without referring to the basionym Trifolium officinalis L. or supplying any description. Lamarck 1779 didn’t cite Trifolium officinalis L. either, but supplied a detailed description. Following ICBN Art. 33.3 Lamarck's Melilotus officinalis is a legitimate comb. nov. (Lamarck mentions other Trifolium-Melilotus new combinations in his publication).
