Croton bonplandianum (C. bonplandianum) is a monoecious exotic weed belonging to the euphorbiaceae family, is grown unwantedly at a large scale in the cultivation land of eastern India, along with the main crop. In this present work, sap from the C. bonplandianum plant is extracted through aqueous extraction method, which is further applied on cott...
In connection with the taxonomic revision of the family Euphorbiaceae in India, an overlooked new variety, Tritaxis glabella (Thwaites) R.Y.

Consequently, three new synonyms have b...

... For instance, from Baillon (1861) to Leandri (1939) to Radcliffe-Smith (2016), all three authors recognized Croton chapelieri as an accepted species, but known only from the type, which was of unspecified provenance. The re-evaluation of this species by Kainulainen et al. (2017a), and again in this paper, reveals that C. chapelieri is in fact a widespread species along the eastern littoral zone, and we now consider that it has eight heterotypic synonyms. We should point out that without first-hand knowledge of the species in the field, it may have been impossible to sort out the variability of this species and recognize its restriction to a fairly narrow ecological and elevational zone in sandy coastal habitats. ...
... is not at all an accurate reflection of our current knowledge of Malagasy Croton taxonomy, and it should not be consulted as such. Rather, with this paper, previous ones we have published Berry and Kainulainen, 2017;Berry et al. , 2016aBerry et al. , 2016bKainulainen et al. 2016Kainulainen et al. , 2017aKainulainen et al. , 2017b, our initial molecular results Haber et al. 2017) and with more complete molecular studies forthcoming shortly, as well as additional taxonomic novelties and revisions in preparation, we are generating a significantly different and better substantiated vision of the rich diversity of Croton in the Western Indian Ocean Region. Leandri (1939) named the species after the type locality, Anadabolava, but he may have inadvertently or even purposely omitted the first two letters of the name. ...

All published names of Croton from Madagascar, the Comoros, and the Mascarenes are treated here. We indicate which names are currently accepted (123 native species and 1 introduced), which ones we consider to be heterotypic synonyms (188), which ones are doubtful (25), and which ones should be excluded (5). We newly designate lectotypes for 108 names, and epitypes for C. anisatus Baill., C. nobilis Baill., and C. submetallicus Baill. A total of 133 names are newly treated as synonyms. One new combination is made, Croton basaltorum (Leandri) P.E.Berry for C. antanosiensis var. basaltorum Leandri, and one new name is proposed, Croton toliarensis B.W.vanEe & Kainul. for C. tranomarensis var. rosmarinifolius Radcl.-Sm.
