CROTON GLORIOSUS (PRINCESS OF WALES). 
This is one of the long-leavecl drooping forms of Croton, and is perfectly distinct in character. It 
comes from the New Hebrides. The leaves are from lj to 2 feet in length, sometimes plane, and 
sometimes strongly undulated. The ground colour is green, and the variegation creamy-yellow, ’ very 
variable in character. In some there is a creamy-yellow mid-rib, with a band on each side ; in others 
the midrib is bright green. Tire markings are of the maculate style, with here and there lar"e 
blotches of clear creamy yellow, and in other parts clouded markings of smaller confluent blotches 
and spots. Occasionally these conditions are reversed, and there are longish patches on which the 
ground colour is creamy, relieved by a few clouded green markings. The spreading arching habit, 
and the maculate stylo of variegation, are the characteristic features of this useful decorative variety. 
This was one of the twelve New Plants with which Mr William Bull gained the First Prize at the 
International Horticultural Exhibition held at Dundee in 1876. 10s. 6c l. and 15s.
