CROTON MAJESTICUS. 
One of the finest of this now extensive and varied family of ornamental-leaved stove plants. It is of 
free-growing and hold habit, though the leaves are narrowish and elongate ; when mature they arc. 
from 15 to 18 inches in length, including a petiole of about 2 inches long. They are linear in form, 
acute or sometimes bluutish, in the young growth deep green, with golden rib, and markings repre- 
senting venation, hut more or less confluent. In the older and more matured foliage the green takes 
on a deep olive hue, while the yellow portions change to deep crimson, the intermediate leaves being 
coloured in an intermediate manner. The regularly-drooping elongate leaves give the plant a very 
elegant character, which is greatly enhanced by its rich tints of colour. This was imported from the 
South Sea Islands. It has received a First Class Certificate from the Floral Committee of the Royal 
Horticultural Society. 10s. 6(7., 15s., and 1 guinea.
