The application of the names Croton glabellus, C. lucidus , and Phyllanthus glabellus has been confusing since the earliest publications that used them. After a thorough review of these publications and corresponding herbarium specimens, we clarify the nomenclatural confusion surrounding these names and their taxonomy. We identify a new name, Phyllanthus glabellus Fawc. & Rendle, that was inadvertently made. We make the new combination Croton glabellus subsp. polytrichus , and we designate lectotypes for Astrocasia tremula, Croton subsect. Astraeopsis, C. glandulifer, C. lucidus var. polytrichus , and C. spicatus .
