Comment:
although both
Hedysarum incanum
Sw. (1788) and
Aeschynomene incana
G. Mey. (1818) were cited in synonymy by Candolle, the former was an illegitimate later homonym (non Thunb.; Melbourne ICN Art. 53), so the later homotypic name becomes the basionym
the potential basionym
Hedysarum incanum
Sw. was proposed for conservation (nom. cons. prop.) over the earlier homonym (Melbourne ICN Art. 53)
Hedysarum incanum
Thunb., nom. rej. prop. to establish priority of this name back to 1788
