Piecrust and Undulatum.

REF: Brown, B. Frank 1995 Crotons of the World p.31.

Type I, 2' x 10', Lancelate leaves undulate on margins. At it's best the ground color is a deep maroon heavily mottled bright red and yellow but in older leaves the yellow all gradually turns red. A fine croton, extensively used at the Breaker's Hotel in Palm Beach. This variety has a tendency to revert to solid dark maroon leaves and only well colored stock should be used for propagating.
