green, with a narrow central band of creamy yellow, and long parallel veins of the same colour, the 
surface being here and there marked by bold irregular blotches of yeUow, the yellow parts becoming 
tinged with crimson. In some conditions the leaves are wholly of a bronzy green, with the lines and

CROTON REOURVATUS. 
An exceedingly pretty variety, remarkable for its elegantly recurved leaves. The stems are purplish, 
the petioles deep blood-crimson, and the leaves lanceolate, slightly rounded at the base, and tapered to 
the point, which is cuiwed downwards. The colouration is striking, there being a yellow central band, 
with a crimson midrib, and yellow veins ; the yellow being ir ore or less suffused, so that it predomi- 
nates over the green of the remaining parts. It is a good example of a race of small-growing Crotons, 
which are found very useful for decoration. 1 guinea.

CROTON RUBESCENS. 
A finely-marked variety introduced from the South Sea Islands. The leaves are elliptic-lanceo. 
late, the rib, veins and numerons freckled spots are yellow, passing through rosy red in the ribs and 
orange-red in the freckled markings, to deep green with rich crimson hues and spottings. 16s. 
CROTON SCHOMBDROKIANDS, 15s. 1 CROTON SOVEREIGN, 3s. 6(7. 
CROTON SPECIOSUS. 
A very choice novelty, having many good (Qualities, of which a neat habit of grorvth, moderate-sized 
foUage, and a rich blending of colours, are not the least important. The leaves are of an eUiptic- 
lanceolate form, some with a solitary yellow midrib, others with a broad band of yellow giving oft 
lateral veins, and fre(iuently also variously blotched. 15s. 
CROTON SPEOTABILIS. 
A fine large-leaved form of the series, with yellow variegation. The leaves have obovate-elliptic 
lamina, green with a pale primrose-yellow miclrib, the rest of the surface being blotched freely but 
irregularly with pale yellow, sometimes covering the greater portion of the leaf-blade. The veins are 
only faintly indicated here and there by yellow lines. It is a bold and eftective variety. 1 guinea. 
CROTON SPIRALIS, 2s. 6(7. and 3s. 6(7. | CROTON SPLENDIDUS, 6s. 
CROTON SUPERBIENS. 
One of the finest of known varieties. The leaves are oblong, acute, rounded at the base. The 
colouring is exceedingly rich, and quite unique. In the least coloured condition the leaves are green, 
with clouded yellowish markings. As these mature, the green deepens, the yellow brightens, and the 
(mppery red veiniug and margin are brought out. Subsequently the green be(jomes blackish bronze, 
while all the pale portions become coppery, the veins and the costa being picked out with crimson. It 
is a native of New Guinea, and is a gem amongst the Crotons. 5s. 
CROTON TRICOLOR. 
A strikingly handsome hybrid, with finely-coloured leaves of elegant character, narrow-lance-shaped 
while young, with a central rib and abundant blotches of yellow, becoming at maturity marked with a 
caimson midrib, and freely blotched with bright rosy crimson, amongst wkich the few small portions 
of green colour appears as small iiregular patches ; the footstalks of the leaves are crimson, and well 
displayed from the open habit of the plant. 1 guinea.
