Found this at a local nursery. I think it may be Dr. Alex, any one want to confirm?

I have my name on the only two airlayers of it, owner wont sell the plant in the pot.
Moose, a trade is always welcome for the second one.
 
That looks more like a Henry Coppinger type hydrid (Reliant?) :confused:
Thanks Moose Knuckle, I think you are right, as my plant looks more like the Reliant/Reliance?? in these threads:

I hope my plant will get as colorful as this one:

Looking closer at Dr. Alix I now see that it has some long lobes near the base of the leaf....

I see the wiki here uses "Reliance" rather than "Reliant" - anyone know which is the correct name?
 
Reliance was the earliest name.
Thanks - I'm trying to use the earliest names for my crotons...
I want to compile a list of names with dates and origins where possible, as well as parentage when known, though very little info seems to be available for crotons in general...
I'm saving what info there was on the old crotonmania site so it is not lost - for others who also missed seeing that site, much of the old info can be found through the Internet Archive's waybackmachine:
