C. verbascifolia (l.c. p. 26) is taken up from Boissier’s 
account of 1879, and thus includes C. tinctoria a. verbascifolia, 
Sea 5 (1866) and p. fie Boe ie Miill.-arg. (1866) two 
or aillon % 
But the tendency to confuse C. hierosolymitana with C. verbasci- 
folia has hardly been greater than the complementary tendenc 
to confuse C. verbascifolia with C. tinctoria, of which the ra 
ture of the genus offers no example. The dubiety suggested as to 
the identity of Croton obliquum, Vahl (1790) does not really 
exist, for the type of Vahl’s species is also the type of Croton 
argenteum, Forsk. (1775) non Linn., and Croton argenteum, 
Forsk., as the specimen in the Copenhagen herbarium shows, is 
the species eaiee Willdenow in 1805 described as Croton 
verbascifoliu

* Six species have from time to time been recognised among the 
members of this group :—1. Chrozophora plicata, A. Juss. (1826), 
which is Croton plicatum, Vahl (1790), based on Croton tine- 
torium, Forsk. Cent. vi. 1775) non Linn.; 2. Chrozophora 
Rottleri, A. Juss. (1826), which is Croton Rottleri, Geis. (1807) ; 
3. ae Burmanni, Spr. (1826), based on emo hastatum 
rm. 1768 n 
PUI 
(1805) nee Vahl. We now know, however that 2. C. Rottleri and 
3. C. Burmanni are only conditions of the same species, and that 
4%; Voleghafolie is only a variety of 1. C. plicata.
