[Wikipedia] Taxonomy: Ladeania lanceolata was given its first scientific description by the botanist Frederick Traugott Pursh in 1813. He named it Psoralea lanceolata. It was moved to the genus Psoralidium by Per Axel Rydberg in 1919 with the name Psoralidium lanceolatum. He also separated out six variants as species that are now regarded as synonyms. In 2009 James Lauritz Reveal and Ashley Noel Egan published a paper where they reclassified with the name Ladeania lanceolata. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
