(12) C. paniculatum Linn. Mant. 90; Gamble, l.c. 838. 
Shrub 6 to 8 ft. tall or more, leafy only at the top; stems 
whitish. Leaves membranous variable ovate or orbicular more or 
less deeply lobed, lobes acute, 3 to 7, cordate, sparsely hairy or 
nearly glabrous above, densely glandular beneath, 4 to 8 in. across; 
petioles 1 to 6 in. long. Panicle pyramidal, 12 in. long or more, 
8 in. through; branches red and flowers numerous. Calyx divided

slender, -5 to -7 in. long, lobes sub-equal, elliptic, -2 to -4 in. long. 
Stamens long exsert pink. Drupe obovate, black. Hab. Waste 
ground and forests, often cultivated. Difficult to say where it is 
actually wild, as pieces are carried about by the Sakai girls, who 
wear them in their hair, and apparently plant them by their camps. 
I have seen it apparently wild from and at Negri Sembilan, Bukit 
Sulu (Cantley). Pahang, Telom. Selangor, Semangkok Pass; 
Ginting Bidai. Perak, Ayer Larut (Wray). Penang, Tanjong 
Bunga (Curtis). Kedah (Kunstler). Native names: Pangil;
