Very, very wide lobes

No Exotica, no Krukonis and not real sure on a PR, probably not, but again, not sure.

For to be a Krukonis, the tip of the leaf needs to have a flared or bell end, and not come to a point.
 
All three of these are from the same plant which has been identified several times as President Reagan. I believe the photos you've posted above, are the same variety.

Ricky, your plant looks like a Reagan for sure. The mature leaves are light pink not red in the plant I posted. I've got a Reagan also and the two plants have very different color when sitting side by side. The outer lobes are also longer on this mystery plant.
 
Mr. Searle, of course you can see a picture, come over and you can even touch it! the croton that is.

My plant is pretty young too. The one in the photo is the mother plant on Oahu. I'll check mine later and see how it compares with your photo. From the photos of the big plant, I'd say you're right.
 
Ray,
I'll bet what you have is Arthur Howe. I brought the original plant back from Oahu.

Ray,
There's a black and white picture in Exotica so it's been around for a long time. Johnny Shelton identified my plant a number of years ago.
