abstract = {The greater Caribbean region has played an important role in the early diversification of Croton (Euphorbiaceae s.s.). Jamaica is also important to Croton taxonomy given that several species were first described from material from the island. The Jamaican species of Croton are found in six different sections indicating that there were at least six separate over-water dispersal events of the genus to the island. Croton favocalcaris (section Eluteria), a new species endemic to limestone hills along the southern coast of Jamaica is described and illustrated. The species is phylogenetically most closely related to C. laurinus Sw. and C. grisebachianus M?ll.Arg. both also endemic to Jamaica. Several lectotypifications and novel synonymies are required to clarify the taxonomy of the species that have been described from Jamaica, some of which are widespread in the region.}
