NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS. 
CROTON VOLUTUS. 
A very distinct and beautiful form, the great peculiarity of which consists in the leaves being rolled 
up from the end in a volute, after the manner of the curving of a ram’s horn. The ground colour is 
deep green, a golden bar runs down the centre, from which yellow veins diverge at about half-inch in- 
tervals, and meet near to, and so as to coalesce with, the golden margin, in which occur scattered spots. 
The markings are very regular, a little pink sometimes appearing in the mid-rib ; the curving of the 
leaf blade is also very con.staut, causing the edges to be elevated so as to form a kind of channel. It 
has received a b irst Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society, under the temporary name 
of cornigerum, which is not properly applicable to it. 10s. 6d., 15s. and 1 guinea.
