Abstract Variation in foliar trichomes in Croton (Euphorbiaceae) is reviewed, and the terminology clarified by redefinitions and illustrations of terms. Evolution of trichome types appears to proceed from branched (stellate or fasciculate) hairs to simple and dendritic ones. A systematic enumeration characterizes the trichome morphology in 36 of the 40 sections, with citation of the 120 species examined.
