AUREO MACULATUM: aka GOLD DUST - Category Small Leaf
“Frequently sports 'Punctatum'. Grows well in shade.”REF: Brown, B. Frank 1995 Crotons of the World p.2 & 50.
“Small myrtle shaped, green leaves, spotted yellow.”REF: Reasoner's Tropical Nurseries inc, croton listing. Group I, Common Varieties, p.2.
Type I, 2 1/2" x 10". – “Rather small myrtle shaped green leaves heavily spotted and marbled golden yellow. Very showy and makes nice compact bush.” REF: Paper prepared by Wm. A. Geiger in collaboration with Mr. Christian of the Christian Nursery, Mr. Van der Lean and Mr. George L. Peacock. p.8
“Gold dust croton is an upright plant with a bushy growth habit. The foliage is dark green speckled with bright yellow dots. The brightness of the variegation depends on the level of light the plant receives. If placed in continual shade, the yellow specks tend to fade. As with all crotons, gold dust croton is highly susceptible to cold and starts to shed leaves if exposed to temperatures below 10 degrees C. Gold dust croton reaches a mature height of three feet and with a 2-foot spread. It is best to let soil dry to two inches between watering. Gold dust croton is best started with starter plants available in small sizes.” Ref:http://www.ehow.co.uk/list_6503249_croton-plant-varieties.html
