Remarks

In his treatment of Flemingia congesta Roxb. ex DC. var. typica (invalid), Prain remarked: “Owing to this having been first described as Crotalaria macrophylla, Dr. O. Kuntze has taken the opportunity of employing the name F. macrophylla Kuntze, with what precise significance he has failed to make clear.” However, Prain’s citation of F. macrophylla Kuntze is an error. Kuntze (Revis. Gen. Pl. 1: 199. 1891) did not publish F. macrophylla, but published Maughania macrophylla (Willd.) Kuntze
