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!).
