A reply: "There are about 800 species of Croton worldwide and the Asian species are about 150. The present photos from Lalbagh, Bengaluru do not represent a species occurring in erstwhile British India. It is not at all an Indian species. Hence, you have to contact Dr. Peter C. van Welzen of Leiden Herbarium for its identity. His email id is available in the website of Leiden Herbarium or Flora Malesiana Euphorbiaceae Newsletter search. Lalbagh Bengaluru is a treasure house of plants. I wish I would have visited the garden for once. Regards, Tapas Chakrabarty."
