The new species belongs to <em>Croton</em> sect. <em>Adenophylli</em> subsect. <em>Laceratoglandulosus</em>, which is supported by morphology and a phylogenetic analysis based on nrDNA ITS sequence data. <em>Croton restingae</em> is most closely related to <em>C. echioides</em> and <em>C. laceratoglandulosus</em>, also in subsect. <em>Laceratoglandulosus</em>, with which it shares the fruit columella with three non-inflated, flat or slightly ascending apical appendages. <em>Croton restingae</em> differs from them by its sessile or shortly stipitate leaf nectaries, revolute pistillate sepals, styles distally 2-fid and basally united forming a column, and larger capsules (7.5–8&nbsp;× 8.5–9.3&nbsp;mm). <em>Croton restingae</em>ʼs habitat, conservation status, phenology, morphology and phylogenetic relationships are discussed, and a map with its geographic distribution is also included.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Sodré, Rodolfo Carneiro and da Silva, Marcos José and Caruzo, Maria Beatriz Rossi and Riina, Ricarda}, year={2023}, month={Apr.}, pages={104–116} }
