10. Croton eichleri Müller Argoviensis (1873: 272) View in CoL .
Lectotype (designated by Santos et al. 2017): — BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: “ Habitat ad Porto do Rio Cervo inter Ouro fino et Caldas ”, s.d., A.F. Regnell II 242 ( P 00623149 ; isolectotypes P 00623148!, A 00257923!, BR 0000008766496!, BR 0000008766823!, C 10011167!, F 0056120F!, F 0093628F!, S 07-12794!, S 07-12795!, S 07-12796!, S 07-12797, US 00902151!, US 00902150!). ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 , J–O)
This tree can be recognized by its stipitate acropetiolar nectary glands, reduplicate-valvate aestivation on staminate and pistillate flowers, and strongly muricate fruits. Some specimens of Croton eichleri have been identified erroneously in herbaria as C. floribundus . However, these species differ by the presence of acropetiolar nectary glands (present in C. eichleri vs. absent in C. floribundus ), leaf base (cordate in C. eichleri vs. rounded in C. floribundus ), staminate flowers aestivation (reduplicate-valvate in C. eichleri vs. valvate in C. floribundus ), and style division (tetrafid in C. eichleri vs. multifid in C. floribundus ). The species is a member of Croton sect. Prisci ( van Ee et al. 2011) .
Distribution and habitat:— It occurs in southern (PR) and southeastern (MG, RJ) Brazil ( Santos et al. 2017, Caruzo et al. 2020), along edges of semideciduous seasonal forest, between 600 and 920 m elevation ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ).
Phenology:— Flowering from October to December, and fruiting in February.
