Abstract

The article addresses the issue of lectotype designation of Melilotus tauricus (Fabaceae) and the authorship of this binomial. The species was described by F. Marschall von Bieberstein in 1819 as Trifolium, but no type was cited. The lectotype of Melilotus tauricus has not yet been designated. It is chosen here from among the original material stored in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute, RAS (LE). It is also revealed that the priority of the combination belongs to C. Ledebour (1823) – M. tauricus (M. Bieb.) Ledeb. – instead of N. Seringe (1825) as it was previously believed.
