DOUBTFUL OR EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
C. COROMANDELIANUM, Spreng. Syst. ii. 758, Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 678, 
is another name for C. ovatum, Poir. Suppl. iv. 352; a species founded ona plant 
from Pondicherry, resembling C. squamatum, but with entire glabrous leaves and 
whiteish flowers. : 
C. BUCHANANI, Rozb. Fl. Ind. iii. 60 (under Volkameria), and Ic. Ined. at Kev, 18 à 
Clerodendron with terminal compact red panicle and ovate leaves from Amboina and 
Celebes. This was united by D. Don (Prodr. Nepal. 103) with his Cl. foetidum from 
Nepal, a plant with axillary inflorescence, which Hamilton's original specimen 1n the 
British Museum shows to have been Caryopteris grata. Walpers (Rep. iv. 108) and 
Schauer (DC. Prodr. xi. 672) have copied ; there is no reason to suppose that Rox- 
burgh's Buchanani has ever been found in Nepal or in British India. C. Buchanan, 
Wall. Cat. 2653, is not in his Herbarium. . 
C. FORTUNATUM, Linn., erroneously stated by Schauer (in DC. Prodr. xi. 671) to 
be an Indian species, is a Chinese plant. C. fortunatum, Wall. Cat, 2692, is not 1n his 
Herbarium. 
C. segICEUM, Wall. Cat. 1814, is Hiptage sericea, Hook. f.
