Clerodendron. 263 



Robinson no. 10000, Basilan and Elmer no. 13559, Mindanao 

 belong to C. lanuginosum. Perhaps is will appear that the 

 present species is synonimous with it. At any rate this i5 another 

 case, from which we may conclude the close affinity (if not 

 identity) of the Densiflora (or at least a certain part of them) 

 with the Paniculata.
