230 MR. J. G. BAKER ON THE 
An erect shrub, 10-15 feet high, glabrous in all its parts, with 
slender terete brown lenticellate branchlets.  Petiole 4 in. long; 
blade 3-4 in. long, 11-11 in. broad, obtuse or subobtuse, narrowed 
gradually to the base, moderately firm in texture, green and 
glabrous on both surfaces, with distant distinct arcuate ascending 
main veins like those of Cerbera. Flowers in fascicles of few- 
flowered peduncled cymes from the end or upper nodes of the 
branchlets; pedicels erect, }-} in. long; bracts few, minute, 
linear. Calyx 3-3 in. long, with an oblong tube 3 in. in diam. and 
5 small erect segments. Corolla pinkish, fragrant, with a cylin-

CLERODENDRON ? PETUNIOIDES, N. sp. 
Arborea, glabra, foliis petiolatis oblongis integris acutis, floribus 1-2nis 
longe pedicellatis, calycis magni segmentis oblongo-deltoideis tubo ob- 
longo-infundibulari subzequilongis, coroll tubo infundibulari quam calyx 
paulo longiore, segmentis oblongis quam tubus paulo brevioribus, genitali- 
bus haud exsertis. 
An erect shrub or small tree, glabrous in all its parts, with 
slender woody terete branchlets. Leaves opposite, shortly 
petioled; blade 2-3 in. long, 1-1} in. broad at the middle, acute, 
deltoid at the base, moderately firm in texture, bright green and 
glabrous on both surfaces. Flowers solitary or in pairs at the 
end of the branchlets, on slender erect pedicels 2-1 in. long. 
Calyx 1j-1j in. long, membranous, greenish, glabrous, the 5 
oblong-deltoid acute segments rather shorter than the tube. 
Corolla purple, 23-3 in. long, with 5 equal oblong segments 
nearly an inch long anda funnel-shaped tube an inch in diameter 
at throat. Stamens and style not reaching beyond the tip of the 
corolla-segments.—Forests of the province of Imerina, Parker! 
Ankeramadinika, Baron 1624! A very fine and very distinct 
species. It differs from Clerodendron by the 5 equal divisions of 
its corolla-limb and non-exserted stamens, and may prove a new 
genus. The fruit is unknown.
