| It certainly appears to be, but I could not tell you specifically which one. I would be inclined to say it is a Croton Banana, but not sure of the Latin name. If you do a goodle image search for croton banana you might be able to get the exact type. Good luck. It is a very pretty plant. |

| Tiff. Your plant is definately a Croton, but can't find its species. I Googled Croton pics..of all Crotons on one site, yours looks like a combo between Croton Banana and Croton Banana Red. lol..sorry, not much help. Toni |

| The houseplant commonly called 'Croton' is Codiaeum variegatum. The picture does appear to show one of the many cultivars of this species. Croton itself is a different genus, so, strictly speaking, this plant is not 'in the Croton family,' although it is a 'Croton' in common parlance. Don't know how the two species ended up confused. |

| Just like Pothos and Vinca... Tiff, is it one of these EA plants? "Croton" at EA. Maybe bush on fire? (Not a name I'm a fan of, why not just call it yeast infection?!) I see that one at WM often. |
