Croton serpyllifolius is a shrub that can be confused with C. chamaepitis and C. pycnocephalus (see Table 1 View TABLE 1 ). According to Lima & Pirani (2008b), the species is endemic to the state of São Paulo. However, Paraná specimens show morphological characters in agreement with the information of the protologue and type collections, corroborating the information from Caruzo & Cordeiro (2007), who recognized the occurrence of the species in Paraná. The species belongs to section Lamprocroton subsect. Argentini .
Distribution and habitat:— It occurs in south (PR, SC) and southern (SP) ( Caruzo et al. 2020), where it grows in open vegetation (‘campo limpo’), between 800 and 1050 m elevation ( Fig. 16 View FIGURE 16 ).
Phenology:— Flowering from March and September, and fruiting in October and November.
