Croton linearis


Croton linearis, commonly called pineland croton, is a flowering plant native to the Caribbean and south Florida.

Habitat

Throughout its range it can be found in pine rocklands, marl prairies, coastal strands, and disturbed uplands.

Conservation

It can be found in a relatively large geographic area throughout the Caribbean, so it does not appear to be globally imperiled. However, NatureServe regards it as threatened in south Florida, as much of its habitat has been lost to development.
