OROTON CHELSONI. 
This Croton was introduced to this country from New Guinea. It is a remarkably elegaut narrow- 
leaved form of rich coloration. The leaves are sometimes plane, sometimes twisted spirally, and in 
this latter state the variegation shows up most distinctly, being of a bright salmony orange tint 
sliaded with crimson. This was one of the twelve New Plants with which Mr. W. B. gjiined the First 
Prize at the International Horticultural Exhibition, held at Dundee, in 1876. 7s. 6d. and 10s 6i7

and a half in breadth, the eolour a deep green, with a broad central band, from a rjuarter to half an

CROTON PORMOSUS. 
A handsome hybrid variety of moderate growth. The leaf-stalks are crimson, the leaf-blade bright 
green, with a pale yellow central band running out into veins or small irregular blotches; the 
principal veins are yellow, enclosing oblong areoles, while the marginal veins, which are also yellow, 
are more closely reticulated, the surface being here and there sprinkled with yellow spots. These 
yellow portions take on at a later period a glowing crimson hue, the midrib and margin especially being- 
of a bright magenta crimson. It was one of the New Plants with which Mr. W jj gained the First 
Prize at the International Horticultural Exhibition, held at Carlisle in 1877, and at the Provincial 
Show of the Royal Horticultural Society', held at Prestdn in 1878. 1 guinea.

CROTON HEROICUS. 
An, attractive hybrid of the Bismarcki type. It has obovate leaves, having the fron tpart narrowed 
so as to approach the trilobate form. The colour is bright green freely marked with deep yellow, the 
central bar and the veins, and in many cases the half, or even the wdiole of the leaf-surface bein" 
yellow, and this more or less flushed in some leaves, or more distinctly lined in others with a tint o"f 
rosy crimSon. When regularly yellow-barred, and marked with yellow veins, and these parts also 
striated with crimson veins, the leaves are particularly handsome. 1 guinea.

CROTON INSIGNIS. 
A fine form of great beauty, with long naiTow foliage. The leaves are marked with three striking 
and effective colours; they are linear-oblong in form, the colour deep green, with the midrib and 
veins beautifully picked out with golden-yellow, the margins and midrib rosy crimson. In the older 
leaves the markings run in from the edge, and become suffused over the central bar, so that the 
colours become nearly ecpially balanced, in which state it is very handsome. This was one of the 
twelve New Plants with which Mr. W. B. gained the First Prize at the Great Show of the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society, hold at Kensington in 1880. Ij guinea.
