The flowers look like that of (Bharang - Marathi) Clerodendrum serrstum. A shrub common during monsoon its tender leaves are used as vegetable which are slightly bitter in taste. Regards, Narendra Joshi --- On Sat, 8/14/10, mani nair <mani....@gmail.com> wrote:

It is good we have seen the authentic specimens of Clerodendrum serratum. I had uploaded a similar looking plant from Delhi on January 12, which some members had identified as this species and some as Caryopteris odorata. I have resurfaced the same today again so that new members can have a look at that. To me my plant now should be identified as Caryopteris odorata now correctly known as Pseudocaryopteris bicolor. Your opinion is sought on that post.
