      Sorry... I cannot take any credit for the id!
      Junglekeeper from Vancouver has added more info...


      Some names associated with this plant:
      • Codiaeum variegatum 'Interruptum'
      • Codiaeum variegatum f. appendiculatum
      • Codiaeum variegatum var. pictum f. appendiculatum
      Some or all are synonyms of Codiaeum variegatum var. variegatum. A definitive name is still elusive.

      ..............................

      bjo from Portugal has also added..

      there are two similar varieties.

      For more "scientificy" sounding names than "Mother and Daughter Croton" you could use:

      Codiaeum interruptum
      Codiaeum appendiculatum

      I believe that these varieties arose in culture, but I am not sure of the proper nomenclature /format
      Croton 'interruptum' ??

      Like you I have been searching for something resembling the plant in the pics but couldn't come up with anything. I didn't think was a succulent and had looked at aroids and Philodendrons, even large leaved Pepperomias but never thought of the Croton family as the leaves gave the apperance of being much thicker. Well done Ss.:blue thumb:
