MALACCA and SINGAPORE, frequent; Wallich, Griffith, &c. DISTRIB. Through- 

 out Malaya. 



A shrub; branchlets puberulous. Leaves opposite, unequal or equal, 4 by If in., 

 base obtuse, undulate or obscurely toothed, young scarcely pubescent ; petiole 1-2 in. 

 Peduncles numerous, axillary, or penultimate forming a terminal panicle ; bracts in., 

 linear ; cymes 10-20-fld., puberulous; pedicels ^ |- in. Calyx divided nearly to the 

 base, often purplish, minutely puberulous; segments broad-lanceolate acuminate. 

 Corolla pale yellow (Blume); tube nearly 1 in., glabrous; lobes ^ in., narrowly 

 obovate. Drupe % in. diam., globose, succulent ; calyx-lobes in fruit g- in., pendent. 

 Wallich's specimens exactly agree with those from Java ; but the one species has 

 been made into two because Blume describes the panicle as terminal, which Schauer 

 regarded as axillary. 



4. C. G-riffithianum, Clarke-, leaves oblong acuminate minutely 

 toothed pubescent beneath at least on the midrib, inflorescence subterminal 

 very lax, calyx 33 in. deeply 5-lobed. 



ASSAM ; Griffith ( Kew Distrib. n. 6054). DISTRIB. Ava. 



A small tree (Griffith) ; in habit resembling C. disparifolium, but the branches 

 viscous-pubescent. Leaves 6 by 1^ in., base rounded or cuneate, mature glabrate 

 above, pubescent (usually minutely) on the lamina beneath; petiole 1 in., viscidly 

 pubescent. Peduncles penultimate from petioled leaf-like bracts, and running into 

 completely terminal panicles ; bracts in., filiform ; cymes lax, viscidly pubescent ; 

 pedicels -J in. Calyx minutely pubescent ; tube short, distinctly campauulate ; 

 lobes lanceolate, acuminate, more or less reddish. Corolla glabrate, white (Griffith) ; 

 tube 1 in. ; lobes in., oblong. Drupe i by ^ in., ovoid ; calyx-tube much enlarged, 

 almost enclosing the drupe ; segments 5 in., triangular, thickened, erect, overtopping 

 the drupe. 



5. C. Lobbiij Clarke; leaves ovate entire minutely pubescent beneath, 

 peduncles axillary long, calyx in. deeply lobed. 



PENANG; Lobb. 



Apparently a rambling shrub ; branchlets minutely pubescent. Leaves 3 by 2 

 in., obtuse, base rounded, glabrate above ; petiole probably short. Peduncles 

 numerous, 3-4 in. ; bracts in., linear ; cymes minutely grey-pubescent, 12-iid. ; 

 pedicels ^ | in. Calyx obovoid, minutely grey-pubescent, enclosing the corolla, with 

 scattered round glands ; segments in., ovate-triangular, valvate in bud. Corolla 

 (not fully expanded) glabrate, probably f in. long, altogether of Clerodendron, as are 

 the stamens and pistil.

 mature puberulous or pubescent beneath, calyx lobed half-way down lobes 

 triangular caudate-acuminate. Roxb. FL Ind. iii. 57; Wall. Cat. 1787;

From the N.W. HIMALAYA TERAI to Ceylon, general in the drier climates, ex- 

 tending to BEHAR and ORISSA (not to Bengal). 



A large bush, sometimes 30 ft. ; shoots pubescent. Leaves If by 1 in., obtuse 

 or acute, often sub-rhomboid, usually sinuate-crenate sometimes entire, rarely crenate- 

 dentate; petiole | in., pubescent. Peduncles 1 in., axillary, or panicle sometimes 

 truly terminal ; cymes 12-nd., lax, pubescent ; bracts f in., obovate-lanceolate ; pedicels 

 $-i in. Calyx - in., puberulous; in fruit slightly enlarged, more rigid, glabrescent. 

 Corolla puberulous, white ; tube nearly 1 in., filiform ; segments ^ in., elliptic. 

 I)rupe -i in., obovoid, slightly succulent, separating into 4 pyrenes much as in C. 

 inerme.
