Lectotypification for a legume fossil species, Wisteria fallax (Nathorst) Tanai & Onoe from the Neogene of Japan, is presented here. A figure previously designated as the lectotype for W. fallax by Tanai is not tenable because the ICBN (St. Louis Code, Art. 8.5 and 9.13) does not allow a figure to serve as the type for the name of a fossil taxon.
