CLERODENDRUM. Supra, vol. 5. fol. 406. 
C. (Volkamera) pubescens; calyce campanulato 5-dentato immutato; foliis 
oblongo-lanceolatis acuminatis ramisque pubescentibus, pedunculis axil- 
laribus trifidis, tubo corollee abbreviato, staminibus corolle longitudine. 
This species of Clerodendrum was brought from St. 
Vincent’s, by Mr. James M‘Rae, in 1824, and flowered in 
the stove in the Comtesse de Vandes’s garden, at Bays- 
water, in August 1825, where our drawing was made. 
It is a tender stove-plant, not of much beauty: whether 
it is actually a native of St. Vincent’s, or of the opposite 
coast of South America, we do not know. 
This is distinguishable from all the published Volka- 
mera tribe of Clerodendrums by its downy leaves; it 
otherwise borders very closely upon C. ligustrinum, but 
our Mauritius specimens of that species have stamens as 
long as the corolla, and their leaves are ovate-lanceolate, 
not oblong-lanceolate. 
We are also in possession of another downy-leaved 
species of this tribe, for specimens of which we are indebted 
to Robert Barclay, Esq., in whose hot-house, at Bury-Hill, 
it flowered in 1825. It is a native of Madagascar, and 
by far the most beautiful plant of the genus with which we 
are acquainted. The leaves are small, and grow either in 
pairs or in threes. The flowers are produced in the utmost 
profusion, and are of a very delicate lilac. To record its 
existence in our gardens we shall give it a name and specific
