The leaf has a marked oak leaf shape. Variagatum looks like it has plain margins

The botanical name is Codiaeum variegatum but there are many different cultivars with different leaf types. This link shows many different leaf types, one even called "Turkey Foot" and they list one as "Yellow Oak Leaf": http://www.burnettsnursery.com...

If you don't have the exact name of your cultivar you can put it in the location for C. variegatum and then move it at a later date.

And, many nurseries have different names for them too. I remember back in the 1970's I purchased a Croton labeled "Mamey" (that is how the label had it spelled) and I've seen some labels spell the name "Mammey" and nowadays I see them labeled with the spelling of "Mammy". It's very confusing. I had the one called "Picasso's Paintbrush" for quite a few years and lost it to a freeze last winter. I've also seen that one labeled as just Codiaeum "Paintbrush".
