Croton urucurana is a medium-sized tree that can be recognized by its cordate leaves with sessile acropetiolar nectary glands, and inflorescences with proximal bisexual cymules. It can be confused with C. gracilipes and C. celtidifolius , however, they can be differentiated by vegetative and reproductive characters (see under C. gracilipes and C. celtidifolius ). The species belongs to section Cyclostigma .
Distribution e habitat:— It occurs in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil (AC, AM, BA, DF, ES, GO, MG, MS, MT, PA, PR, RJ, RO, RS, SC, SP, TO) ( Santos et al. 2017, Caruzo et al. 2020), where it grows in edges of semideciduous seasonal forest, riparian forest, disturbed areas, and ‘capoeira’, between 220 and 615 m elevation ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20 ).
