status

 

21. Croton bergassae Leandri, Adansonia, ser. 2, 13: 176. 1973

Type.

Madagascar. Prov. Toamasina: Menagisy, Brickaville, 11 Oct 1956, Service de Eaux et Forêts de Madagascar 12358-SF (lectotype, designated here: P [P00312375]!; isolectotypes: P [P00127519]!, TEF!).

Habit and distribution.

Shrubs or small trees; eastern lowland Madagascar (Antsiranana, Toamasina).

Notes.

Although the sheet designated here as lectotype has a sticker stating “TYPE” and the other sheet at P has one stating “ISOTYPE,” it is not clear who applied those labels and if it was done after Leandri's publication. In any case, there is no annotation in Leandri's hand on either sheet to indicate which of the two he intended to be the holotype.
