Habitat: border of evergreen forest It looks like a Croton sp. to me… It is looking like Drypetes brownii Standl. and it is mainly distributed in Mexico, South America, Belize and Costa Rica This is likely to be Croton aromaticus. Yes, It is a allied species of Croton laccifer L. Syn: Croton aromaticus Thank you for the identification. Please find some more images taken on 26 Aug 2012. This is Croton caudatus as identified by … at Euphorbiaceae Fortnight :: Croton for ID 03:: Valparai :: MK 015 and as per GBIF– specimen
Croton sp., Croton caudatus Geisel. ?? Croton Fruits look different from those at Croton caudatus This cannot be a Croton. I do not know this plant. OK … Actually, did not match with any ! Pl. try comparative images at Apocynaceae I don’t know whether it is Croton or not, to me this is euphorbiaceae family The leafy plant appears to me as Croton caudatus. However, the fruits with spiny projections look different. The spiny projections on capsules are unlike any other Croton.
