Folks,

Can anyone help with the ID in this plant, :confused:

I couldn't help notice the curves on the leaves.

Thanks
Rags

Sorry I cant help with a ID, but that is a very nice looking plant. Thanks for posting the pic.
 
I’ve brought a very similar plant from Thailand but with red color. In Indonesia they call it - “Srilanka Daun Panjang”.

Also have a look at “Amabile” in Dr. Frank Brown’s encyclopedia, p.66. The picture is not very sharp, but I think it’s the same mutation as in Eburneum’s. Your plant may be a white variant of this croton (without red pigment).
 
Here is an old reference (1871) for Johannis.

Cheers
Rags
