Clerodendrum trichotomum, a deciduous tree inhabiting
sunny forest edges in coastal or mountainous regions, grows to 4-8m
in height. With 5-10cm-long petioles with vellus hairs, leaves are
opposite, 8-15cm long, 5-10cm wide, in a triangular cordate to
broadly ovate, with margins almost entire. Cymes emerge from branch
tips or axils on the upper parts and set many fragrant flowers in
them. Corollas cleft themselves into five segments, and the segments
open flat. The pieces are white, 1.1-1.3cm long, broad, and linear,
with floral tubes tinged with red-purple; they are slender,
measuring 2-2.5cm long. Calyxes cut shallowly in five, tinging
red-purple. Bloom time: July-September. |
