"Habitat in India." RCN: 7278. Lectotype (Chakrabarty & Balakrishnan, Bull. Bot. Survey India 34: 26. 1992; Philcox in Dassanayake & Clayton, Revised Handb. Fl. Ceylon 11: 99. 1997): Herb. Hermann 3: 54, No. 344 (BM-000628006) . Current name: Croton laccifer L. ( Euphorbiaceae ). Note: Specific epithet spelled "lacciferum" in the protologue. Chakrabarty & Balakrishnan indicated more than one Hermann collection (vol. 2: 54; 3: 54; 4: 38, BM) as the type. As the specimens appear to be part of a single gathering (Art. 9.15), their choice is accepted, with Philcox subsequently restricting this to the material in vol. 3: 54.
