619. Lotus maculatus. Leguminosae – Papilionoidae. Plant in Peril 30.

The name ‘Lotus maculatus Breitf.’ is shown not to have been validly published when Breitfeld first provided her description in 1973. The species, a critically endangered endemic of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, is described here, and the holotype selected. The plant is illustrated in colour, provided with line drawings of dissections, described in detail, and aspects of its relationships, cultivation and biology discussed.
