CROTON GLORIOSUS (PRINCESS OF WALES). 
This is one of the long-leaved drooping forms of Croton, and is perfectly distinct in character. It 
comes from the New Hebrides. The leaves are from Ij to 2 feet in length, sometimes plane, and 
sometimes stroiigly undulated. The ground colour is green, and the variegation creamy-yellow, very 
variable in character. In some there is a creamy-yellow mid-rib, with a hand on each side ; in others 
the mid-rib is bright green. The markings are of the maculate style, with here and there large 
blotches of clear creamy yellow, and in other parts clouded markings of smaller coniluent blotches 
and sj)ots. Occasionally these conditions are reversed, and there are longish patches on which the 
ground colour is creamy, relieved by a few clouded green markings. Thu spreading arching habit, 
ami the maculate style of variegation, arc the characteristic features of this useful decorative variety. 
This was one of tire twelve New Plants with which Mr. AVilliam Hull gained the hirst Prize at tl'io 
International Horticultural E.'diibition held at Dundee in 1870. li and 2 guineas.
