deep, wide sinus, the basal lobes broadly rounded, margins re- 
pand-toothed, the upper surface hispid-hirsute with scattered, 
appressed, stiff hairs, the lower surface densely and softly puber- 
ulent, the indumentum nearly obscuring the glands; petioles 
up to 15 cm in length, puberulent. Panicles terminal, narrowly 
pyramidal, about 20 cm long, the lower branches about 7 cm 
long, all parts puberulent, the bracts narrowly spatulate, 1 to 1.5 
em long, the bracteoles linear or subfiliform, short. Flowers 
numerons, red, their pedicels slender, 1 to 1.5 cm long. Calyx- 
lobes pubescent, oblong, obtuse, somewhat unequal, about 8 mm 
long, accrescent in fruit and 5 to 6 mm long. Corolla-tube 
slender, about 12 mm long, 1 mm in diameter, slightly enlarged 
above, sparingly pubescent externally, the lobes somewhat un- 
equal, oblong to oblong-obovate, obtuse or rounded, 5 to 7 mm 
long. Filaments slender, the exserted parts about 2 cm in length. 
Fruit about 5 mm long, 8 mm wide, depressed-globose, of 2 to 4, 
1-seeded pyrenes.

A species manifestly very closely allied to Clerodendron intermedium 
Cham., which it greatly resembles in aspect. The chief differences appear 
to be ti the indumentum, C. intermedium Cham. being entirely glabrous, 
the present species rather densely puberulent and pubescent.

Frutex scandens, inflorescentiis exceptis glaber ; foliis oblongis, 
usque ad 14 cm longis, chartaceis ad subcoriaceis, nitidis, in- 
tegris, breviter acuminatis, basi acutis ad rotundatis, subtus

A scandent shrub, glabrous except the inflorescence, the 
branches terete, grayish, somewhat lenticellate, the younger ones 
dark-colored when dry. Leaves chartaceous to submembrana- 
ceous, oblong, entire, 8 to 14 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, the 
apex shortly acuminate, the base acute to rounded, olivaceous 
or somewhat brownish when dry, shining, of about the same 
color on both surfaces or the lower one a little paler, the lower 
surface very densely areolate, the areolae small, 1 mm or less 
in diameter, each enclosed by the ultimate reticulations; lateral 
nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib, slender, rather distinct, 
somewhat ascending, anastomosing; petioles 1 to 2 cm long. 
Inflorescence terminal, many flowered, usually peduncled, up to
