- Authors
van Ee, Benjamin; Gandhi, Kanchi N.; Berry, Paul E.
- Abstract
The application of the names Croton glabellus, C. lucidus, and Phyllanthus glabellus has been confusing since the earliest publications that used them. After a thorough review of these publications and corresponding herbarium specimens, we clarify the nomenclatural confusion surrounding these names and their taxonomy. We identify a new name, Phyllanthus globellus Fawc. & Rendle, that was inadvertently made. We make the new combination Croton globellus subsp. polytrichus, and we designate lectotypes for Astrocasia tremula, Croton subsect. Astraeopsis, C. glandulifer, C. lucidus var. polytrichus, and C. spicatus.
