CLERODENDRON Linnaeus 



CLERODENDRON PANICULATUM Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 90. 



Asahan, Silau Meradja, Bartlett & La Rue W6, with the local 

 name si panggil. 



Formosa, Hainan, Indo-China, Siam, and the Malay Peninsula. 

 It is of interest to note that the allied Philippine species, Clero- 

 dendron intermedium Cham., is currently known to the Tagalogs 

 by a similar name, casopanguil. 



CALLICARPA Linnaeus 



CALLICARPA BREVIPETIOLATA sp. nov. 



Frutex vel arbor parva, ramulis et subtus foliis densissime 

 stellato-tomentosis ; foliis chartaceis, lanceolatis, brevissime 

 petiolatis, usque ad 10 cm longis, basi abrupte lateque rotundatis 

 et distincte cordatis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, margine dentatis, 

 nervis utrinque 10 ad 12; cymis axillaribus, breviter peduncu- 

 latis, sub fructu confertis, subglobosis, 1 ad 2 cm diametro. 



A shrub or a small tree, the branchlets and lower surface of 

 the leaves very densely and uniformly stellate-tomentose, the 

 indumentum pale brownish, eglandular, the branchlets terete, 

 1.5 to 2 mm in diameter. Leaves lanceolate, chartaceous, brittle 

 when dry, 7 to 10 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide, the upper surface 

 brownish olivaceous, more or less pubescent with short simple 

 hairs, the base abruptly and broadly rounded, distinctly cordate, 

 narrowed upward to the slenderly acuminate apex, the margins 

 rather finely dentate; lateral nerves 10 to 12 on each side of 

 the midrib, not prominent; petioles densely stellate-tomentose, 

 1 to 2 mm long. Cymes axillary, solitary, stellate-tomentose, 

 peduncled, the peduncles 5 to 10 mm long, in fruit dense, sub- 

 globose, 1 to 2 cm in diameter. Fruits very numerous, crowded, 

 globose, 2 to 2.5 mm in diameter, black and rugose when dry, 

 the calyces stellate-pubescent, shallow, about 2 mm in diameter, 

 4-toothed. 



Sumatra, East Coast, Karoland, Kampong Bintang Mariah, 

 Bartlett & La Rue 323, August 10, 1918, with the local name 

 laoe gappa gappa. 



The alliance of this species is manifestly with Callicarpa 

 rubella Lindl., from which it is especially distinguished by its 

 very dense stellate-tomentose indumentum, which completely 

 covers the lower surfaces of the leaves.
