Al032312 – Kalatope (Dam side) ID: Looks close to Clerodendrum serratum seen in Maharashtra esp. western ghats. I too think the same at first look. But, somehow feel that it might be a different one. let me analyse it. Thank you for giving hint of the family…
Could this be Caryopteris odorata..?? I think you got it correct! and here is the key (Flora of Pakisthan) to differentiate this genus from Clerodendron

Caryopteris wallichiana from Nahan-2011: perhaps you meant Caryopteris wallichiana (family: Lamiaceae). Oh Yes! …, thanks for pointing out, I meant Caryopteria wallichiana only, this one is very common in Haryana Siwaliks, I have never seen Clerodendron serratum.. Now correctly known as Pseudocaryopteris bicolor (Roxb. ex Hardw.) P. D. Cantino according to both GRIN and The Plant List In Clerodendron serratum Inflo. is terminal. Flowers are not in bunch. Flower size is also smaller one (2 cm.)

Caryopteris odorata from Herbal Garden, Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi
The shrub looks much similar to Clerodendrom serratum, and may be confused with that but is easily differentiated when in fruit in producing dry capsules and not fleshy fruit as in Clerodendrum. In fact when I had uploaded this for ID, it was initially identified as Clerodendrum serratum. Thanks .. for uploading this. It does look similar to Clerodendrum serratum except for the flower colour . Lamiaceae (incl.Verbenaceae) Fortnight: Lamiaceae-Pseudocaryopteris bicolor (Roxb. ex Hardw.) P. D.
