CLERODENDRON Linnaeus 
CLERODENDRON PAN ICULATUM Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 90. 
Asahan, Silau Meradja, Bartlett & La Rue ^06, with the local 
name si panggil. 
Formosa, Hainan, Indo-China, Siam, and the Malay Peninsula. 
It is of interest to note that the allied Philippine species, Clero- 
dendron intermedium Cham., is currently known to the Tagalogs 
by a similar name, casopanguil. 
CALLICARPA Linnaeus 
CALLICARPA BREVIPETIOLATA sp. nov. 
Frutex vel arbor parva, ramulis et subtus foliis densissime 
stellato-tomentosis ; foliis chartaceis, lanceolatis, brevissime 
petiolatis, usque ad 10 cm longis, basi abrupte lateque rotundatis 
et distincte cordatis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, margine dentatis, 
nervis utrinque 10 ad 12; cymis axillaribus, breviter peduncu- 
latis, sub fructu confertis, subglobosis, 1 ad 2 cm diametro. 
A shrub or a small tree, the branchlets and lower surface of 
the leaves very densely and uniformly stellate-tomentose, the 
indumentum pale brownish, eglandular, the branchlets terete, 
1.5 to 2 mm in diameter. Leaves lanceolate, chartaceous, brittle 
when dry, 7 to 10 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide, the upper surface 
brownish olivaceous, more or less pubescent with short simple 
hairs, the base abruptly and broadly rounded, distinctly cordate, 
narrowed upward to the slenderly acuminate apex, the margins 
rather finely dentate; lateral nerves 10 to 12 on each side of 
the midrib, not prominent; petioles densely stellate-tomentose, 
1 to 2 mm long. Cymes axillary, solitary, stellate-tomentose, 
peduncled, the peduncles 5 to 10 mm long, in fruit dense, sub- 
globose, 1 to 2 cm in diameter. Fruits very numerous, crowded, 
globose, 2 to 2.5 mm in diameter, black and rugose when dry, 
the calyces stellate-pubescent, shallow, about 2 mm in diameter, 
4-toothed. 
Sumatra, East Coast, Karoland, Kampong Bintang Mariah, 
Bartlett & La Rue 323, August 10, 1918, with the local name 
laoe gappa gappa. 
The alliance of this species is manifestly with Callicarpa 
rubella Lindl., from which it is especially distinguished by its 
very dense stellate-tomentose indumentum, which completely 
covers the lower surfaces of the leaves.
