Espèce nouvelle basée sur Geiseleria chamaedryfolia auct. non (Lam.) Klotzsch 1843, sensu Klotzsch 1843 et Croton chamaedrifolius auct. non Lam. 1783, sensu Griseb. 1864 dans le genre Croton L. 1753 [non Croton chamaedrifolius Lam. 1786 'chamaedrifolium ', Geiseleria chamaedrifolia (Lam.)

C. chamaedryfolius (sensu) Griseb. Fl. Br. W. I. 41 (1864), non Lam. Ency. 2: 214 (1786). Griseb. used C. chamaedryfolius Lam., which serves as the basionym for G. chamaedryfolia ."​
