β Cru (HR 4853) is a multiperiodic β Cep star. The main period has been found constant between 1958 and 1973 by Cuypers (1982). In order to extend the basis of the ephemeris, we computed two values of radial velocity maxima from individual measurements published by Campbell & Moore (1928) and Sahade & Albarracin (1952). In lack of simultaneous spectroscopic and photometric observations, we used an arbitrary value equal to 0.25 period for the phase lag.
