Taxonomic Comments
Kartesz (1994, 1999) recognized seven varieties of Croton glandulosus in the flora area: var. angustifolius, var. floridanus, var. glandulosus, var. lindheimeri, var. pubentissimus, var. septentrionalis, and var. simpsonii. Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2016) recognizes five varieties in the flora area: var. arenicola (distinct from var. glandulosus which isn't in the flora area), var. floridanus, var. lindheimeri, var. pubentissimus, and var. septentrionalis (includes var. angustifolius and var. simpsonii).
