Notes.

Baillon (1858) did not cite any specific specimens in the description of Furcaria boiviniana , just " F. boiviniana (herb. Mus.)." Baillon (1861) cited Boivin 2183 and Pervillé 267 when he transferred the taxon to Croton . Both specimens are annotated in Baillon's hand as " Croton (Furcaria) boivinianum H. Bn., Et. Gen. Euph., 356," so we therefore consider them to be original material for the taxon.
