03E98796FFF15413FF5FFC1E79DA8145.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology: — Croton hadrianii was described by Baillon (1864) for Brazil based on an unnumbered collection of Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira obtained during an expedition to the states of Mato Grosso, Pará and Amazonas. Although there is no information on the label of the type collections about the precise locality of collection, we confirmed the occurrence of Croton hadrianii for the states of Mato Grosso, Pará and Rondônia (Figure 3). It grows in cerrado vegetation on shallow and stony soils, between 85 and 810 m elevation. Flowering and fruiting: — Specimens were collected with flowers and fruits from December to July. Preliminary conservation status: — Croton hadrianii has its conservation status interpreted here as Least Concern (LC) in according to IUCN (2017) since it has an Occurrence Extension (EOO) of approximately 500,000 km 2 and has been found in more than ten locations. In addition, the species occurs in Conservation Units such as Serra das Araras Ecological Station and Cristalino State Park, in Mato Grosso state, and in Carajás National Forest in Pará state.	en	Sodré, Rodolfo Carneiro, Silva, Marcos José Da (2018): Rediscovery of Croton hadrianii (Euphorbiaceae), a well distributed but longforgotten species in Brazilian Amazon. Phytotaxa 349 (2): 141-151, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.349.2.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.349.2.4
03E98796FFF15413FF5FFC1E79DA8145.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The specific epithet “ hadrianii ” ascribed by Baillon (1864) to this species seems to have been a reference to Adrien de Jussieu, since there is a label in the lower left of the type collection P 00623573 with the number 32 and the abbreviation “ Ad. Dej. ”, an allusion to Adrien de Jussieu. Typification: — Analyzing the nomenclatural types of C. hadrianii we verified that there are two duplicates of the same collection in P, both in perfect state of conservation, with the barcordes P 00623573 and P 00623574; there is also a type fragment in F. Thus, we propose here the collection P 00623573 as lectotype of the species, since it has mature pistillate and staminate flowers besides fruits and, therefore, faithfully reflects the original description of the species. Systematic position, characterization, and taxonomic notes: — Croton hadrianii was described by Baillon (1864) as a member of Croton section Hesperidium Baillon (1864: 306). However, van Ee et al. (2011) placed it in C. section Geiseleria, since it has the main diagnostic features of that section, such as shrubby habit, stellate trichomes, glands at the apex of the petiole or at the base of the leaf blade, leaf margin crenate or serrate with glands in the indentations, and pistillate flowers with unequal, usually free and eglandular sepals. We agree with van Ee et al. (2011) on the systematic position of the species under discussion. Croton hadrianii can be recognized and differentiated from the other species of Croton sect. Geiseleria by characters such as branches and leaves with tomentose indument to the touch, petioles with relatively large sessile patelliform glands (1.3 − 1.7 mm in diam), crenate or sometimes serrate leaf margin with sessile patelliform glands on the abaxial surface, inflorescences with 2 − 4 (− 6) pistillate flowers sparsely distributed at the base, followed immediately by staminate flowers, the latter in cymules with 1 − 4 flowers, or separated by a short sterile space, as well as pistillate flowers with five to seven slightly unequal, sepals, and (2 −) 4 - fid styles. In his synopsis on Croton in the Brazilian Amazon, Secco (2008) recognized 31 species, ten of them belonging to C. sect. Geiseleria. Later one, he also described C. strobiliformis Secco (2009: 249) and C. campinarensis Secco et al. (2012 b: 2), both in section Geiseleria, as new species, and cited C. pycnadenius Müller Argoviensis (1873: 216) (Secco & Berry 2013) for the Brazilian Amazon. To update the section for Amazonian Brazil, we provide below a key to the species of Geiseleria section occurring in Amazonian biome according to IBGE (2004), including C. hadrianii and C. wittianus Ule (1908: 75), which although not treated by Secco (2008), was described for the region by Ule (1908). We also provide images for most of these species (Figures 4 and 5).	en	Sodré, Rodolfo Carneiro, Silva, Marcos José Da (2018): Rediscovery of Croton hadrianii (Euphorbiaceae), a well distributed but longforgotten species in Brazilian Amazon.
