T H I S before unnoticed species of Clerodendrum was introduced from the Island of Pinang, where it
grows naturally wild, by T. Evans, Esq. of Stepney, in I8O9. The leaves are very large, a little
hispid on their upper surface : the height of the plants, in the specimens which we have seen, is from
three to five feet. The plant appears to grow freely, and may be propagated by cuttings, but requires
to be kept in the hot-house. The drawing was taken at Stepney last October.
