This before unnoticed species of Clerodendram was introduced from the Island of Pinang, where it 

 grows naturally wild^ by T. Evans, Esq. of Stepney, in I8O9. The leaves are very large, a little 

 hispid on their upper surface : the height of the plants, in the specimens which we have seen, is from 

 three to five feet. The plant appears to grow freely, and may be propagated by cuttings, but requires- 

 to be kept in the hot-house. The drawing was taken at Stepney last October.
