Of this plant Dr. Ma.son remarks : " The Karen glens of Tavoy and ilcrgui arc 

 embellished with one of tlie most elegant flowering shrubs that ever beautified 

 a landscape ; it is the nodding Clerodendron.. The flowers are tinged with rose, but 

 nearly white, growing in long panicles at the extremities of the branches, from which 

 they make a graceful curve, and hang down peiiicndicularly from 10 to 15 inches, 

 like an inverted cone, so that the soft green foliage seems canopied with rosy-white 

 veils. The flowerets arc few, the divisions of the panicle being remote, and each 

 bearing only .3 or 5 flowers. The divisions and sub-divisions being all rectangular, 

 and each blossom hanging from its pedicel like an car-drop, order and beauty are 

 inseparable associations with this rare plant. The shrub blossoms in the dry season 

 and rarely exceeds in its native soil more than 10 feet in height."
