I'm guessing the cultivar is possibly spirale...maybe dreadlock or one of the thai cultivars like Sai-Pin, India-Daeng, or Queen of Siam.

Also - I gave you a link for reference that has different cultivars. Here's the wiki link too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codiaeum_variegatum And another great page for all of the cultivars: http://www.crotonmania.net/index.htm
