Croton cascarilla (L). Linn. 



This species, first depicted by Catesby vol. 2 plate 46, has only been 

 collected once since, then on New Providence by Mr. W. F. Daniell, 

 whose specimen, as seen by Dr. Britton, proves Catesby's drawing to be 

 a good representation of the species. All other reports of the species 

 from the Bahamas or Antillean Islands are in error and are principally 

 based upon forms of Croton linearis. Prof. Hitchcock's specimens are 

 not this species.
