7. Croton graomogolensis B. Barbosa & Carneiro-Torres View in CoL (in Barbosa et al. 2018: 264). Type:— BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Grão Mogol, Início da Trilha do Barão GoogleMaps , lado esquerdo, 16º33’24.8”S, 42º53’27.6”W, 873 m, 20 November 2015, B.L.R. Barbosa, D.S. Carneiro-Torres, M.S. Silva & J.F.C. Oliveira 17 (holotype, HUEFS 0231969!; isotypes, ALCB, K, M, MBM, MO, NY, P, RB, RN 00007388!, SP, SPF).

A shrubby species endemic to the state of Minas Gerais, in southeastern Brazil, found only in the municipalities of Grão Mogol and Serranópolis de Minas ( Barbosa et al. 2018). It occurs in the Cerrado domain, from 867 to 1100 m elevation.

Notes:— This species is morphologically similar to Croton muscicapa but differs by having staminate flowers with a greater number of stamens (14–17 in C. graomogolensis vs. 11 in C. muscicapa ), as also highlighted by Barbosa et al. (2018). The species also resembles C. aemulus (see comments under C. aemulus ).

Representative specimens:— BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Grão Mogol, Serra do Grão Mogol, 22 March 1938, J.F.W. Markgraf 3517 (F V0192294F!, RB 00083798!).
