Descripción
Sumario:A catalogue of the Fabaceae type material of Carlos Luis Spegazzini (1858-1926) deposited in the herbarium of Museo de La Plata (LP), Argentina, is presented. Spegazzini and collaborators collected extensively in Argentina, mainly in Patagonia. As a result of these expeditions, Spegazzini´s collection of types includes ca. 700 specimens. The analysis of Fabaceae reveals 79 type specimens, 63 of which are deposited in LP. Thirty three taxa have resulted in nomina nuda, nomina illegitima, etc. The treatment includes a list of original names arranged alphabetically, the current names with authors, the exsiccata followed by the type category, the original citation or protologue, and all relevant observations. In addition, a list of specimens that were not found in LP, a list of the nomina illegitima, nomina invalida, nomina nova and nomina nuda, and a list of the Spegazzini´s genera are provided. The most representative illustrations attached to the type specimens, drawn by Spegazzini, are also included.
