Timor Laut. — A shrub ranging from the Malayan Peninsula and the Philippines to 

 North Australia. Miquel also records it from Bourbon, whence we have seen no specimens. 

 It is, however, commonly cultivated. Bentham refers Callicarpa eriocolona, Schauer, 

 and Callicarpa bicolor, Juss., to this species. The genus is a large one, and generally 

 spread in warm countries. 



Callicarpa longifolia, Lam. ? 



Callicarpa lomjifolia, Lam. 1 Miq., Fl. Ind. Bat., ii. p. 887 ; Benth., Fl. Austr., v. p. 57. 



Timor Laut. — Generally spread in Tropical Asia, and extending southward to North 

 Australia. 



Callicarpa pedunculata, R Br. 



Callicarpa pedunculata, R. Br., Prodr. Fl. N. Holl., p. 513; Benth., Fl. Austr., v. p. 57 ; Miq., Fl.

Ki. — Archipelago and Eastern Australia. The three species of Callicarpa here 

 enumerated are the only ones hitherto discovered in Australia. 



Clerodendron inerme, R. Br. 



Clerodendron inerrne, R. Br., Prodr. Fl. N. Holl., p. 511; Benth., Fl. Austr., v. p. 63; Miq., Fl.

Arrou ; Timor Laut. — A common seaside shrub from India, the Philippines, and 

 Marianne Islands, to Australia and New Caledonia. Seemann (Fl. Vit., p. 188) states 

 that it is common on the sea-coast of all the Fiji Islands ; and there are specimens in the 

 Kew Herbarium from the Tongan, Samoan, Friendly, and other groups of islands in Poly- 

 nesia ; but Nadeaud does not include it in his list of Tahitian plants. 



Clerodendron longiflorum, Dene. var. ? 



Clerodendron longiflorum, Dene. var. 1 Dene., Herb. Timor. Descr., p. 72 ; Miq., Fl. Ind. Bat., 

 ii. p. 884. 



Timor Laut ; Letti. — The typical plant is a native of Timor, and Miquel records it 

 from Luzon. The genus Clerodendron is a large one, and the species are especially 

 numerous in the Archipelago ; a few are African, and a few American. Fragments of 

 several other species were collected in the Eastern Moluccas.
