CODI^TTM (Malayanname). Euphorbidcem. Ckoton of florists. Pour or 5 Malayan species of shrubs or trees. Plants monoecious : racemes axillary, long and slender: pistillate fls. with small 5-lobed calyx and no petals, the ovary 3-loculed : stamens 15-30, surrounded by calyx and 5-6 small petals: Ivs. alternate and petio- late, normally entire, thick, more or less Aucuba-like. Differs from Croton in the absence of petals from the pistillate fls., and in technical characters of stamens. The CodisBums of gardens are of many widely differ- ent kinds, and many of these forms have Latin-made names. They are all derived, however, from one poly- morphous natural gi'oup, which J. Milller, the latest monographer (DC. Prodr. 15: pt. 2,1119), considers to be one species (). This plant is widely dis- tributed in the Malayan region, and is commonly planted in the Moluccas and other parts. The Crotons or Codiaeums of horticulturists fall into three groups,— those with ovate, short-stalked Ivs., those with narrower and spatulate Ivs., and those with very narrow and often twisted Ivs. These correspond with Miiller's three nat- ural divisions : variegitum, Linn., var. plctum, Miiller (C. pictum, Hook.).
