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 alte cordatis supra pilosiusculis subtus dense 

 glanduloso-squamatis, panicula colorata composita pilo- 

 siuscula, floribus (minoribus) apice ramorum racemoso- 

 corymbosis, calyce ampliato 5 fido, corollse laciniis obo- 

 vatis revolutis staminibus pluries brevioribus. 



This is probably the C. coccineum of some gardens, as it 

 certainly is the Volkameria KcBinpferiana 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 ; foliis subrotundis alte cordatis subdentatis supra 

 pubescentibus subtus mollibus, panicula colorata com- 

 posita pilosiuscula, floribus apice ramorum corymbosis, 

 calyce minimo 5-dentato, corollas laciniis obovatis planis 

 staminibus paulo 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-
