CROTON RECURVATUS. 
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 curved downwards. The colouration is striking, there being a yellow 
central bnnd with a crimson mid- rib, and yellow veins ; the yellow being more or less suffused, so 
that it predominates 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. 10s. G d. and 15s.

CROTON BOSEO-PICTUS, vide page 30. 
CROTON RUBERRIMUS. 
This is probably the reddest of all the bright red varieties yet known. The leaves are narrow 
and elegantly drooping ; in the young state they are green at the edge, with creamy yellow on each 
side the red costa, the green parts spotted with cream ; then the creamy parts become suffused with 
red, and the costa changes to a deep crimson ; finally the green deepens into a rich bronzy green, 
the yellow being entirely replaced by deep rosy crimson. 15s. and 1 guinea. 
CROTON RUBESCENS. 
A finely -marked variety, introduced from the South Sea Islands. The leaves are elliptic-lanceo- 
late, the rib, veins and numerous freckled spots are yellow, passing through rosy red in the ribs and 
orange-red in the freckled markings, to deep green with rich crimson lines and spottings. 7s. 6(7. 
and 10s. 6 d. 
CROTON SCEPTRE. 
One of the ribbon-leaved forms of Croton. The colouring consists of a crimson costa, on each 
side of which comes the dark bottle-green ground colour, and added to this are irregular spots,' and 
a few patches of fiery orange with some spots of yellow. A pretty and distinct variety. 10s. 6;/. 
CROTON ScHOMBUEOXiANUS, 7s. 6<7. | CROTON Soveeeiqn, 3s. 6(7. 
CROTON SPECIOSUS. 
A very choice novelty, having many good qualities, of which a neat habit of growth, moderate- 
sized foliage, and a rich blending of colours, are not the least important. The leaves are of an 
elliptic-lanceolate form, some with a solitary yellow mid-rib, others with a broad band of yellow 
giving off lateral veins, and frequently also variously blotched. 7s. G(7. and 10s. 6(7. 
CROTON SPECTABILIS. 
A fine large-leaved form with yellow variegation. The leaves have a pale primrose-yellow 
mid-rib, the rest of the surface being blotched freely but irregularly with pale yellow, sometimes 
covering the greater portion of the leaf-blade. It is a bold and effective variety. 10s. 6 rf. 
CROTON spibalis, 2s. 6(7. and 3s. 6(7. | CROTON splendidus, 5s. 
CROTON TRICOLOR. 
A strikingly handsome hybrid, with finely-coloured leaves of elegant character, at maturity 
marked with a crimson mid-rib, and freely blotched with bright rosy crimson, the few small portions 
of green colour appearing as small irregular patches; the footstalks of the leaves are crimson.

CROTON VITTATUS. 
A very handsome Croton of bold and striking habit. The colour of the leaf-blade is a clear full 
green, with a broad band of creamy yellow, which runs out laterally along the bases of the distant 
primary veins. The mid-rib in the older and more matured leaves takes on the same bright 
ruby-red as the petioles, which adds much to the brilliancy of the marking. 7«. 6(7.
