CASHMERE BOUQUET Clerodendrum bungei Characteristics • Type: Perennial • Maintenance: Medium • Zone: 7 to 10 • Suggested Use: Naturalize • Height: 3’- 6’ Spread: 3’- 6’ • Flower: Showy, Fragrant • Bloom Time: July to October • Leaf: Fragrant • Bloom Description: Pink • Attracts: Butterflies • Sun: Full sun to part shade • Tolerate: Drought • Water: Medium Culture Winter hardy to USDA Zones 7-10 where it is best grown in evenly moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Best in full sun, but often appreciates some light afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Established plants have good drought tolerance. Consider pruning stems hard to the ground in early spring in order to promote compact plant form. Propagate by root suckers, cuttings or root sections. Where winter hardy, plants will spread aggressively and invasively in the landscape by root suckers which should be regularly pruned out. Cashmere bouquet may be grown in containers which are overwintered indoors in bright sunny conservatory-like rooms. Mist foliage frequently. Best indoor placement is a bright southern exposure with indirect sun. Noteworthy Characteristics Clerodendrum bungei, commonly called Cashmere bouquet, is a suckering deciduous shrub which grows somewhat rapidly to 6' tall. It is native to China. It is best ornamentally grown as a shrub to 2-3' tall. Oval leaves (to 12" long) with toothed edges are dark green above and fuzzy bronze-green beneath. Leaves are malodorous when crushed. Salverform (slender tube with abruptly spreading corolla), rosy red flowers (each to 3/4" wide) bloom in loose clusters to 8" across from summer into fall. Flowers are very showy and fragrant. Flowers are attractive to butterflies. Cashmere bouquet will form a spreading colony by suckering if not restrained. It has escaped gardens and naturalized from Texas to Georgia and Florida. Problems No serious insect or disease problems. Watch for aphids, whitefly, mealybugs, scale and spider mites. Leaf spot is an occasional problem. Garden Uses Attractive flowering shrub which should be planted in somewhat isolated areas where aggressive spread can be controlled. Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder .

A Comparative Pharmacognostical Study of Certain Clerodendrum Species (Family Lamiaceae) Cultivated in Egypt
A Comparative Pharmacognostical Study of Certain Clerodendrum Species (Family Lamiaceae) Cultivated in Egypt A Thesis Submitted By Asmaa Mohamed Ahmed Khalil For the Degree of Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmacognosy) Under the Supervision of Prof. Dr. Prof. Dr. Soheir Mohamed El Zalabani Hesham Ibrahim El-Askary Professor of Pharmacognosy Professor of Pharmacognosy Faculty of Pharmacy Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University Cairo University Assistant Prof. Dr. Omar Mohamed Sabry Assistant Professor of Pharmacognosy Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University Pharmacognosy Department Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University A.R.E. 2019 Abstract A Comparative Pharmacognostical Study of Certain Clerodendrum Species (Family Lamiaceae) Cultivated in Egypt Clerodendrum inerme L. Gaertn. and Clerodendrum splendens G. Don, two members of the cosmopolitan family Lamiaceae, are successfully acclimatized in Egypt. The current study aimed to evaluate the local plants as potential candidates for implementation in pharmaceutical industries, which necessitates an intensive investigation of safety and bioactivity of the cited species. To ensure quality and purity of the raw material, criteria for characterization of and/or discrimination between the two species were established via botanical profiling, proximate analysis, phytochemical screening and UPLC analysis. The leaves were subjected to comparative biological and chemical study to select the most suitable from the medicinal and economic standpoints. In this respect, the antioxidant cyotoxic and antimicrobial potentials of the defatted ethanol (70%) extracts of the tested samples were assessed in-vitro. Meanwhile, the chemical composition of the leaves was examined through qualitative and quantitative comparative analyses of the phenolic components. In this respect, The leaves of C. inerme were selected for more intensive both phytochemical and biological investigation.

The geographic distribution of ploidy levels and chloroplast haplotypes of four Japanese taxa of C. trichotomum s. lat., based on chromosome counts, flow cytometry, and genotyping of five microsatellite loci is reported. It was determined that Japanese C. trichotomum var. trichotomum and var. yakusimense are tetraploid (2n = 104), while var. es- culentum and C. izuinsulare are diploid (2n = 52). The diploid taxa are distributed only on the southern edge of the Japanese archipelago, while tetraploid C. trichotomum is distributed widely. Such distribu- tion patterns may be formed by temperate forest shrinkage during, and tetraploid expansion after, glacial periods.

Further Disintegration and Redefinition of Clerodendrum (Lamiaceae): Implications for the Understanding of the Evolution of an Intriguing Breeding Strategy

Although recent studies have resulted in C. subg. Cyclonema and C. sect. Konocalyx being removed to the resurrected genus Rotheca, and the unispecific genus Huxleya being sunk into Clerodendrum, it has been unclear whether Clerodendrum as currently circumscribed is monophyletic, particularly in relation to the American genera Aegiphila, Amasonia, and Tetraclea. This phylogenetic study employs four relatively fast-evolving chloroplast DNA re- gions, trnT-L, trnL-F, trnD-T, and trnS-fM, to clarify the generic boundaries of Clerodendrum and its relationship to allied genera. The results corroborate previous studies that there are three well-supported clades in the currently recognized Clerodendrum: an Asian clade, an African clade, and a Pantropical Coastal clade.

Joan XXIII s/n, E-08028, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected]) Zhao, A-Man Laboratory of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, The People’s Republic of China. Manuscript received in april 2004 Abstract China is one of the richest countries in plant biodiversity in the world. Besides to a rich flora, which contains about 33 000 vascular plants (being 30 000 of these angiosperms, 250 gymnosperms, and 2 600 pteridophytes), there is a extraordinary ecosystem diversity. In addition, China also contains a large pool of both wild and cultivated germplasm; one of the eight original centers of crop plants in the world was located there. China is also con- sidered one of the main centers of origin and diversification for seed plants on Earth, and it is specially profuse in phylogenetically primitive taxa and/or paleoendemics due to the glaciation refuge role played by this area in the Quaternary. The collision of Indian sub- continent enriched significantly the Chinese flora and produced the formation of many neoen- demisms. However, the distribution of the flora is uneven, and some local floristic hotspots can be found across China, such as Yunnan, Sichuan and Taiwan. Unfortunately, threats to this biodiversity are huge and have increased substantially in the last 50 years.
