 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 J in., 

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

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

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

 ohovate. Drupe J in. diam., globose, succulent ; calyx-lobes In fruit J 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. Griffithianum, Clarke; leaves oblong acuminate minutely 

 toothed pubescent beneath, at least on the midrib, inflorescence subterminal 

 very lax, calyx g— ^ in. deeply 6-lobed.

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

 viscous-pubescent. Leaves 6 by \\ 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 i-J in. Cali/x minutely pubescent; tube short, distinctly campanulate; 

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

 tube 1 in. ; lobes i in., oblong. Drttpe i by j in., ovoid ; calyx-tube much enlarged, 

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

 the drupe. 



5. C. Xiobbii, Clarice ; leaves ovate entire minutely pubescent beneath, 

 peduncles axillary long, calyx g in. deeply lobed. 



Penano; Lobb. 



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

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

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

 pedicels ^J 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 \ in. long, altogether of Clerodendron, as are 

 the stamens and pistil. 



6. C. phlomoides, Linn.f. Suppl. 292 ; leaves ovate sinuate or serrate 

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

 triangular caudate-acuminate. Boxh. Fl. Ind. iii. 67; Wall. Cat. 1787;

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

 Lrwpe l-i in., obovoid, slightly succulent, separating into 4 pyrenes much as in C.
