CROTON SPIRALIS. 
Ihis is a very distinct and effective variety, both on account of its form and colouring. The spiral 
twisting of the leaf blade, which has suggested its name, is very marked and very constant. The 
leaves are from 9 to 12 inches long, and about an inch wide, deep green, with a broad golden yellow 
bar up the centre, the green margin twisting spirally around the golden bar, some leaves being partially 
spiral and partially undulate. The older leaves become a deep bronzy green, almost purple, and the 
mid-rib a deep crimson. One of the very best of the Crotons for ornamental purposes. It has been, 
imported from the South Sea Islands, and was awarded a First Class Certificate by the Floral 
Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. 10s. 6 d., 15s., and 1 guinea.
