Clerodendrum fragrans, is chiefly valuable for the sake 

 of its very fragrant blossoms. It is a native of Japan and 

 China, and, though generally treated as a stove plant, is not 

 very tender. It has creeping roots, and we remember once 

 to have seen an instance where it had been planted in the 

 border of the conservatory, that the roots found their way 

 through or under the brick-work, and the shoots came up in 

 the open ground, in which situation the plants flourished and 



flowered
