The arguments are presented concluding that the names Lupinus hilarianus Benth. and Cytisus heptaphyllus Velloso were applied to very different material and certainly do not belong to the same species. It is concluded that C. heptaphyllus does not belong in the genus Lupinus. It is questionable whether the name fits any of the species currently known for allied genera. Article 63 prohibits the use of L. hilarianus , so the next name published which applies to specimens of the species involved, Lupinus gibertianus C. P. Smith, must be accepted.
