Clerodendrum quadriloculare (Blanco) Merr., Philipp. Gov. Lab. Bur. Bull. 35: 63 1905. (Syn: Clerodendrum blancoanum Fern.-Vill.; Clerodendrum navesianum Vidal; Ligustrum quadriloculare Blanco);
This a a tall shrub growing in a private garden in Chennai.
It was full of these large bunches of whitish-pink flowers and dark leaves.
Please help me id it.
… first impression: some species of garden Ixora … but could be far away from fact.
We may also look for any Clerodendrum sp. Thanks for the suggestion. I think it is Clerodendrum quadriloculare. The pics match.
What a time I had trying to find out which of the 400 varieties matched my pics!
There must be some method to this madness of searching but I have yet to figure it out.
Luckily I hit on the right one with some help from Google.
Clerodendrum quadriloculare for me too. There are many varieties. Could be ‘star burst’. But cannot confirm. Acanthaceae for ID : Friends of the Trees Exhibition, Mumbai : 05JUN20 : AK-4 : 2 posts by 1 author. 5 images. This plant has me puzzled.
Seen at the Friends of the Trees Exhibition in Mumbai during Feb,20.
The name suggests Pseuderanthemum carruthersii.
But I am unable to find matching flowers on searching.
Could be a new Cultivar.
… may be able to help.
This plant was really a puzzle. Apparently, the label is wrong.
Varun Ji was kind enough to help me.
Clerodendrum quadriloculare variety Brandonii from Lamiaceae.
Absolutely brilliant Varun Ji.
