    This shrub is in Capo Verde and my friend says they call it Croton but my PHONE ID says Pseuderanthemum maculatum. Do we have anything like it?

      Its different to what I would call croton, but I dont know what it is, possibly the same family as the house plant we call croton?

        Agree I've just looked through the varieties and can't spot a similar one at all.

            @Victoria I think it is Pseuderanthemum carruthersii of which there are various colour forms. An attractive tender plant.
