leaves with a similar form, but they are smaller, have no 
broad toothing at the margin, and are covered beneath with 
depressed scaly glands instead of down: whence the name. Its 
flowers are very much smaller, and are not collected into small 
clusters, but are long-stalked and racemose at the end of the 
panicle-branches. The following definition will distinguish it. 
C. squamatum (Vahl. Symb. 2. 74. Bot. Reg. t. 649); foliis 
subrotundis alté cordatis supra pilosiusculis subtús densé 
glanduloso-squamatis, paniculä coloratä compositä pilo- 
` siusculá, floribus (minoribus) apice ramorum racemoso- 
corymbosis, calyce ampliato 5 fido, corolle laciniis obo- 
vatis revolutis staminibus pluriés brevioribus. 
. This is probably the C. coccineum of some gardens, as it 
certainly is the Volkameria Kempferiana of Jacquin. 
But there is now cultivated in the gardens of this country, 
under the name of Clerodendron squamatum, quite a different 
plant, resembling C. infortunatum in the form of its leaves, 
and having no glandular scales on their underside, in place 
of which is an abundance of soft-jointed hairs, It also differs 
from both species in its calyx, (represented at fig. 2. of the 
accompanying plate,) which instead of being enlarged and 
half divided into five parts, is very small, and has five shallow 
teeth. Its flowers are smaller than in C. infortunatum, and 
larger than in C. squamatum. This may be named C. fallax, 
inasmuch as it might be mistaken by an incautious observer 
for either of the two species above mentioned. We have it 
from the rich collection of Syon, and we propose the following 
definition. 
C. fallax; folis subrotundis alta cordatis subdentatis supra 
pubescentibus subtus mollibus, paniculä coloratä com- 
posità pilosiusculä, floribus: apice ramorum corymbosis, 
calyce minimo 5-dentato, corolle laciniis obovatis planis 
staminibus pauló brevioribus. 
There is also in English gardens a Clerodendron, ab- 
surdly called speciosissimum, which must not be omitted in 
noticing these plants. It has ovate leaves, not at all cordate, 
but rather truncate at the base, with few hairs on either side, 
and no glands; its flowers are in dense heads like those of 
C. fragrans, about the size of C. squamatum, and are sur-
