It grows amid the shrubby or arboreal physiognomies of scrub/forest vegetation, close or not to water courses, sometimes associated with rocky outcrops and on sandy or clay soils, between 160 and 930 m of elevation. This species was found with flowers from December to April and fruits from January to May.</p> <p>Vernacular names</p> <p>The new species is popularly known as ʻCaatinga-brancaʼ (Pernambuco), ʻCassatingaʼ (Bahia), ʻCassutingaʼ (Bahia), ʻMarmeleiroʼ (Bahia), ʻMarmeleiro-de-folha-miúdaʼ (Paraíba), ʻMarmeleiro-pretoʼ (Piauí), ʻQuebra-facaʼ (Bahia, Ceará, Pernambuco, Piauí) or ʻQuebra-facãoʼ (Bahia, Pernambuco, Piauí).</p> <p>Preliminary conservation status</p> <p>This species has an Extent of Occurrence estimated to be 494 273 km 2 and Area of Occupancy of 5696 km 2 and is known from more than 100 different locations in seven states, many of them recently collected. Therefore, its conservation status was provisionally assessed as Least Concern. Despite this, the frequent use of its wood for firewood or fences and its leaves and bark in popular medicine or as food for goats may affect the conservation of their natural populations in the near future.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/76215954B60BFFDF526CFCA4FBBF8FB0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2010) and Caruzo et al. (2020) as a species endemic to Brazil distributed in areas of Caatinga and Caatinga-Cerrado transition in the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte. We confirm occurrence of the species in the states mentioned above, except for Alagoas and Rio Grande do Norte, and provid the first record for the states of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro. This species was found in seasonal dry forest, humid forest, caatinga, in transition areas between caatinga and cerrado, ʻcarrascoʼ or ʻtabuleiro litorâneoʼ growing preferentially on sandy soils, sometimes with outcrops of quartzite, and stony or sandy-clay soils between 30 and 1200 meters a.s.l. It was usually found with flowers from November to April, and with fruits from December to June.</p> <p>Vernacular names</p> <p>ʻVelameʼ (Ceará), ʻVelame-da-serraʼ (Pernambuco), ʻVelame-brancoʼ (Piauí).</p> <p>Preliminary conservation status</p> <p>Croton echioides has an Extent of Occurrence estimated to be 910 000 km 2 comprising at least 80 subpopulations and has an estimated Area of Occupancy of 4544 km 2 (based on an 8 km 2 cell size) and is therefore provisionally assessed as Least Concern. However, it is worth noting that only three of these known subpopulations occur within protected areas (Experimental Station of the IPA, Serra Talhada, Pernambuco; RPPN Serra das Almas, Cratéus, Ceará; and Morro do Chapéu State Park, Bahia), all the others are in non-protected areas, which may have implications for the conservation of the species in the future.</p> <p>Leaf anatomy notes</p> <p>In general, the anatomy of the leaf blades and petiole of Croton echioides and C. sertanejus sp. nov. is relatively similar. Both species have hipostomatic leaves, with stomata on the same level as the other cells of the epidermis, which is unistratified and composed of cells of varying sizes, rectangular or rounded, and has a thin cuticle. The mesophyll in both species is dorsoventral, with a layer of palisade parenchyma and another layer of spongy parenchyma, both with druses (Fig. 6 F, H, L). The leaf margins have rounded outlines and the mesophyll and epidermis are not differentiated from the rest (Fig. 6I, M). The vascular bundles are collateral, surrounded by a conspicuous parenchyma sheath in the smaller vascular bundles and with annular (Fig. 6 E) or angular collenchyma cells adjacent to the phloem on the abaxial surface (Fig. 6J). The primary veins of both species have a convex ventral side with 5 to 6 layers of angular collenchyma cells (Fig. 6P, T). The dorsal side is rounded with 4 layers of angular collenchyma cells in subepidermal position (Fig. 6U) followed by a variable number of layers of ground parenchyma (Fig. 6N, R). The primary vein has a collateral vascular cylinder (Fig. 6O, S) with druses in the phloem. The petiole of the two species has a circular dorsal side and truncated or slightly concave ventral side in cross section. The cortex is composed of angular collenchyma and ground parenchyma. The vascular cylinder is collateral with united bundles, and there are also two accessory vascular cylinders on the ventral side (Fig. 7A, F). The pericycle is always associated with gelatinous fibers (Fig. 7C–E, I–J), which also surround the accessory vascular bundles (Fig. 7B, G). Druses are associated with phloematic parenchyma (Fig. 7D–E, I–J), as in primary veins.</p> <p>Despite the similar anatomical characteristics mentioned above, which are to be expected from morphologically and geographically related species, important anatomical characteristics differentiate C. sertanejus sp. nov. from C. echioides. Leaf trichomes are stipitate in C. echioides, with stipe 50– 300 µm long (Figs 6A, 7A), and the leaf blade is often glabrous on the adaxial face (Fig. 6A), whereas in C. sertanejus the trichomes occur on both faces and are sessile (Fig. 6B–C), or with a stipe up to 30 µm (Fig. 7F) or just with a set of cells at the base forming a cushion (Fig. 6D). The leaf blade of C. sertanejus also has subglobose unicellular idioblasts on the abaxial surface (Fig. 6K), which were not observed in C. echioides. In the primary veins, C. echioides presents the U-shaped vascular cylinder (or open arch) and the palisade parenchyma is continuous between the two faces of the leaf blade (Fig. 6N), as can also be seen in the smaller vascular bundles of the leaf blades (Fig. 6E). In C. sertanejus, however, the vascular cylinder of primary veins is circular (or closed arch), and the palisade parenchyma is discontinuous between the two faces of the leaf blade (Fig. 6R). In the petiole, the accessory vascular cylinders are semi-lunar (open arch) and the pith has approximately 10 to 12 layers of cells in C. echioides, while in C. sertanejus the accessory vascular cylinders are circular (closed arch) and the pith has only 4 to 6 layers. In addition, the cortex of the primary vein and petiole of C. echioides have evident and numerous laticifers close to the phloem; while in C. sertanejus the laticifers were not observed or are not evident.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/76215954B603FFC752F0F9B0FAD68BF1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
