Notes.

Leandri (1939) cited four Humbert collections as syntypes of Croton isomonensis : 13247, 13367, 14070, and 13768. We have not located a Humbert 14070 specimen, but the Humbert 14076 collection has the verbatim collection locality as given in Leandri (1939) for Humbert 14070. We surmise that the ' 14070 ' in Leandri (1939) is a typographic error for ' 14076.'
