Only this Clerodendron was know from childhood as called Kadu Koynel or menda. Is it true that the medicine for Malaria is extracted from it? This was also an example of typical cyme?
Thanks for showing all beautiful Clerodendrons. Though flowers /plants were seen never related them to Kadu Koynel. HaHA!

Thank you … for ID… This plant was growing wild, I did not know it was actually planted.


…, this plant grows wild in coastal regions; elsewhere is planted as hedge plant. Perhaps it “escapes” or has tendency to get naturalized.

This bush (at Varca beach, Goa in May 2015) had two types of flowers, one type looked like Clerodendrum inerme, the second I could not identify.
I think they are of the same bush (I tried to find out if they were 2 separate bushes, but it was too dense and hence I am not sure).
Requesting to please provide ID,

Thank you … is it possible that C. inerme has 2 different type of flowers?


Yes. It could be.

This plant I had earlier identified as Clerodendrum inerme but after doubts were raised by …, I realised that this plant is distinct in much shorter filaments not red in colour and yellow anthers. Please help in ID.
Photographed from Janak Puri, Delhi.


Many ornamental plants are uploaded here and it is nice to see all the photos. But problem in ornamental plants is, its identification as lot of varieties and cultivars are produced in that some times it doesn’t look like its mother species.
Indeed the Verbenaceae group was revised by one of my seniors Dr. Rajendran and published the Verbenaceae of India. As he studied this group some 25 years back I do not know whether presently he is able to identify, so I didn’t forward to him.
In this context it may be stated that presently in India around 450 spp of Labiates are estimated (incl. some genera transferred from Verbenaceae like Clerodendrum, Callicarpa, ? Tectona etc.)
I have studied nearly 200 spp and my colleagues studied just more than 100. Rest I am to study. The species I worked are mainy distributed in Himalayas and unfortunately except few I didn’t get the plants for identification in this fortnight!
I really astonished to see the good photographs uploaded from different corners of India. Thanks for all those who has uploaded the beautiful photos. Hope to see more in this week too.


I think Volkameria inermis only, as this image taken from same plant has typical stamens of the species.


Yes it’s Volkameria inermis

To me this seems to be Cleodendrum inerme.
Really difficult to conclude based merely on leaves.
Was is a shrub?


Thank you … It is around 7 foot height but the trunk was submerged in water. Unfortunately there were no flowers and fruits on the plant.


Looks correct to me !
