Description

Arachis hypogaea Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 741. 1753.

"Habitat in Brasilia, Peru." RCN: 5303.

Lectotype (Krapovickas & Gregory in Bonplandia 8: 148. 1994): Herb. Clifford: 353, Arachis 2 (BM-000646534).

Generitype of Arachis Linnaeus.

Current name: Arachis hypogaea L. (Fabaceae: Faboideae).

Note: Many authors, from Krapovickas & Rigoni in Rev. Inv. Agric. 14: 197-228 (1960, n.v.) onwards, have wrongly treated the post-1753 Herb. Linn. 909.1 (LINN) as type. Krapovickas & Gregory were the first to choose one of the original elements as lectotype.
