C. coEOMANDBLlAifDM:, Sprenff. Syst. ii. 758, Schauer in DC. Prodr. xi. 673, 

 is another name for C. ovatum, Povr. Suppl. iv. 352; a species founded on a plant 

 from Fondicherry, resembling C. squoitnatum, but with entire glabrous leaves and 

 whiteish flowers. 



C. BuCHAlTAiri, Boxh. Fl. Ind. iii. 60 (under Volkameria), and le. Ined. at Kea, is a 

 Clerodendron with terminal compact red panicle and ovate leaves from Amboina and 

 Celebes. This was united by D. Don (Prodr. Nepal. 103) with his Cl.faetidum from 

 Nepal, a plant with axillary inflorescence, which Hamilton's original specimen in the 

 British Museum shows to have been Caryopteris grata. Walpers (Rep. iv. 108) and 

 Schauer (DC. Prodr. xi. 672) have copied ; there is no reason to suppose that Box- 

 burgh's Suchanani has ever been found In Nepal or in British India. C. Buchauani, 

 Wall. Cat. 2653, is not in his Herbarium. 



C. BOETUNATTJH, Linn,, erroneously stated by Schauer (in DC. Prodr.' xi. 671) to 

 be an Indian species, is a Chinese plant. C. fortunatum. Wall. Cat. 2652, is not in his 

 Herbarium.
