Merrill: Burman’s Flora Inclica

EUPHORBIACEAE 
ANTIDESMA Burman 
ANTIDESMA BUNIUS (Linn.) Spreng. Syst. 1 (1825) 826. 
Stilago bunius Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 122. 
Stilago bunius Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 16. “Habitat in India.” 
A very common Xndo-Malayan species, described by Linnaeus 
one year earlier than by Burman and under the same binomial. 
Both descriptions were doubtless based on material of similar 
origin. 
CROTON Linnaeus 
CROTON GLABRESCENS Miq. FI. Ind. Bat. 1 2 (1858-59) 382. 
Croton castaneifolium Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 205 (err. typ. 305), 
t. 64, /. 1, non Linn. “Habitat in Java.” 
Burman’s figure represents a true Croton and is apparently 
the same as Croton glabrescens Miq. 
CROTON OBLONGUM Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 205 (err. typ. 305) , t, 64, f. 2. 
Croton laevifolius Blume Bijdr. (1825) 603. 
No locality is cited, and the entire description consists of 
the words “foliis oblongo-ovatis integerrimis.” Burman’s mate- 
rial was probably from Java, and from the figure it is clearly 
identical with the form later described as Croton laevifolius 
Blume. Burman’s name should be retained for the species. 
CROTON T1GLIUM Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 1004. 
? Croton racemosmn Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 206 (err. typ. 306), t. 62, 
f. 2. 
The type of this was apparently a Javan specimen, and from 
the description and figure I can suggest no other reduction 
than Croton tiglium Linn., although the description of the leaves 
as tomentose scarcely applies to the Linnean species. The form 
indicated as var. (3, based on Beenel Rheede Hort. Malabar. 
5: 7, t. J, is certainly not congeneric with Croton racemosum 
Burm. f. 
CLAOXYLON A. Jussieu 
CLAOXYLON POLOT (Burm. f.) Merr. Interpret. Herb. Amb. (1917) 200. 
Croton polot Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 205 (err. typ. 305). “Habitat in 
Amboina & Java.” 
Claoxylon indicum Hassk. Cat. Hort. Bogor. (1844) 235. 
Burman based his description on an actual Javan specimen, 
which must typify his species in spite of the fact that he took
