Indigofera spicata, sensu lato, is reassessed as comprising two species: I. spicata Forssk. and I. hendecaphylla Jacq. I. spicata is confined to Africa, Yemen, Madagascar and the Mascarenes. The most widespread species, which also occurs outside this region, should be known as I. hendecaphylla Jacq. An isotype of I. parvula Del. is located and identified as I. spicata.
