Heinig cites the first vernacular name here given as connoting Croton 
caudatuSf which it apparently does in the Gangetic Plain. So far, however, speci- 
mens of Croton caudatus have not been sent from the Sundribuns to the 
Calcutta Herbarium, while the name is given by our collectors along with 
specimens of Mallotus repandus. The two plants are not unlike each other and 
the use of the same name for both is not surprising. Croton caudatus should be 
looked for.
