A new and distinct variety of Pittosporum characterized by its growth habit and distinctive leaf variegation with the adaxial side of the leaf blades having a spotted and blotched basic field with a moderately narrow and discontinuous border that is mainly located along the margins of the distal half of the leaf blade and the abaxial side of the leaf blade having a basic field with a notable absence of the spots and blotches found on the adaxial side, but which nevertheless, has a border that is a reverse replica of that at the adaxial side. The leaf margin has an undulated and pronounced recurved form.
