CROTON ILLUSTRIS. 
A singularly grotesque -looking and strongly charaeterist.c variety. The leaves are mostly 
three -lobed on purplish petioles, the base being oblong, succeeded by two lateral alternate lobes, 
which, as well as the apex, appear to be twisted or curved, so as to acquire a sort of forke 
appearance. The colour is green, richly maculated with golden yellow ; the central bar yellow, and 
the variegation irregularly distributed, so that sometimes the points are almost wholly golden. 1 
is an extremely distinct and attractive plant. 10s. 6d. and 15s.
