Medicago minima var. brevispina Benth. , nom. inval., scientific
Smith, J.E. (1830), English Botany Supplement 1: t. 2635 [tax. nov.]
  • Comment: Bentham refers to α brevispina DC., Prodr. 2 (1825) 178, however de Candolle cites only β and γ, implying that α is the type. Bentham by referring to de Candolle probably validly published the name, however it is invalid being the type variety.
  • Comment: nom. inval. [type variety]
