HELP please : which Clerodendrum infortunatum do we have in HOOGHLY (West Bengal) ???

[surajit koley]

I find at least three Clerodendrum infortunatum - of L., of Gaertn and of Dennst.

My search tells me perhaps we, in India, have all three. I attach here relevant papers, incl. one from Thailand. I hope I do not face copyright issues, since all can be downloaded freely from the following links -

• C. cordatum - http://www.researchgate.net/publication/260267620_CLERODENDRUM_CORDATUM_-_AN_ADDITION_TO_FLORA_OF_KERALA-_Sunilkumar.T..Jetb
• C. cordatum - http://www.ehsst.org/PL00702-473.pdf
• The Thailand paper would give infortunatum L. and infortunatum Dennst

Which one do we have in Hooghly district of West Bengal?

BSI members please help

Thank you

Regards
