Abstract
Croton amentiformis, a new species of Euphorbiaceae from western South America, is described and illustrated. Morphological evidence and data from leaf anatomy indicate that the new species belongs to the dragon’s blood group (Croton section Cyclostigma). The dense and congested inflorescence is unusual within the genus. This singular dragon’s blood species is dedicated to the Florence Tropical Herbarium (FT) on the occasion of its 100th Anniversary celebrated in 2014.
