Croton daphniphylloides var. stellatipilus Radcl.-Sm., Gen. Croton Madag. Comoro 165. 2016
Type.
Madagascar. Prov. Antsiranana: Marojejy , N of Mandena, 14°29'S, 49°49'E, 22 Apr 1993, A. Randrianasolo 322 (holotype: K!; isotype MO!) GoogleMaps .
Notes.
It is unlikely this belongs to C. chapelieri (in which C. daphniphylloides is treated here as a synonym); it occurs in the Marojejy Reserve at 500 m elevation and is a 8 m tall tree, whereas C. chapelieri is confined to the eastern littoral zone near sea level. It could also be a northern form of C. submetallicus , with more acute leaves and lacking the submetallic leaf undersides of that species.
