Nomenclatural Comment
Page 657: L. corniculatus has frequently been recorded in error as naturalised in N.Z.; almost all specimens labelled L. corniculatus are referable to L. pedunculatus. L. corniculatus is distinguished from L. pedunculatus by its ± solid stems, fewer, generally larger fls, and by the inconspicuous lateral veins of the leaflets.
