Codiaeum variegatum, or croton, is native to Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, and the western Pacific Ocean islands, growing in open forests and scrub. It is a tropical, evergreen, monoecious shrub growing to 9.8 ft (3 meters) tall. The sap can cause eczema in some people. The bark, roots, latex, and leaves are poisonous. The plant contains an oil which is violently purgative and is suspected of being a carcinogen. Consumption of the seeds can be fatal to children.
