The name Croton persimilis (described in 1865 by Mueller) represents a mixture of two species. However, after its lectotypification (Chakrabarty & Balakrishnan, 2016), this name is now applicable for the present images.

Interestingly nobody noticed that the name of this plant was so far andgoing as Croton virbalae M.R. Almeida (2003) used as a new name for Croton oblongifolius Roxb. After the above mentioned lectotypification in 2016, Croton persimilis is now the earliest valid name for the species.

Dear Aarti ji,
I am writhing this message as there has been an interesting development regarding the nomenclature of the images posted by you.  According to Esser in Thai Forest Bulletin 45(1): 26. 2017, the correct name for this species is Croton mangelong Y.T. Chang, a Chinese element distributed in South East Asia to India.
I am, however, not happy with this name and I have to publish a short paper clarifying the correct nomenclature involved with the name Croton oblongifolius described by Roxburgh in 1832.  In this context I need your help.  I need good images of this species as well as Croton joufra, a closely related species.  I have good images of the latter (C. joufra). It  might be possible for you to send high resolution images of the excellent photographs posted by you here, particularly the second and last images.  Please help in the interest of the subject.
With kind regards,
Tapas.

Dear Aarti ji,
Thank you very much for this help.  I will duly acknowledge your help in my paper and will send you a copy of the same.
I am now writing to the Geneva herbarium for permission to reproduce the image of the type specimens of Croton persimilis.
With kind regards,
Tapas.
