Abstract

A second-step lectotype is designated for the Linnaean name Croton moluccanus ensuring its unambiguous use as Givotia moluccana (L.) Sreem., for a species treated in most of the Indian and Ceylonese Floras as Givotia rottleriformis Griff. ex Wight. A lectotype is also designated for the synonym G. rottleriformis as the earlier lectotypification of this name was not based on the original material used for describing the species.
