Summary Mimosa nutans Linn. f. (1782) typified by ‘Hab. in Tranquebar (1777), Koenig’ s.n. (1228.4–LINN) is established as a validly described legitimate name, with its own type, not a nomen confusum. Since Neptunia natans (Linn. f.) Druce (1917) is a later heterotypic homonym of N. natans Theob. (1883) [as ‘(Willd.) Theob.’], N. triquetra (Willd.) Benth. is the correct name for the terrestrial taxon, M. natans Linn. f., the former based on Desmanthus triquetrus Willd. (1806) [ Mimosa triquetra Vahl (1794), nom. illeg.; M. natans Linn. f.].
