CROTON IMPERIALIS. 
This is a lemarkahly fine form of Croton, from tire New Hebrides. The leaves are very stout in 
ex ure, veiy unequal in length, bluntly rounded at the apex, and with the raid-rib excurrent in the 
form of an awl-shaped honi about an inch below the apex. Most of the leaves are twisted, the twisting 
occurring in various degrees, but it is usually as if the upper half of the leaf had been turned half 
round while the other portion had been fixed in the normal position. The course of the mid-rib, which 
t^s on a crimson hue, is inarked by a broader golden band, and the margin is coloured iritli crimson 
at the extreme edge, and within that by a broken line of j'ellow. The surface of the leaves is also 
mottled with yellow and red. The colouring of the foliage is very effective. 1 and H guinea.
