clerdendum inerme- native or not?
there has been some speculation lately about clerodendrum inerme whether or not is a native of Australia? i have done a little research and the sites i have found state that it is, but i just wanted to make sure what other people think as i am thinking about entering one in the native competition if it is?
cheers

The ones I grew in Darwin came from a stock plant that originated in SE Asia.

Re: clerdendum inerme- native or not?
thanks graeme, i also found that info aswell, it seems that clero are native to a lot of places, i'm starting to think mine isnt even inerme as all the pics i have seen of them and sketches they all have a darker, wider leaf than the ones i have, the ones i have have a fairly narrow leaf similar shape to ficus nerifolia but a bit more delicate, ii am starting to beleive it is a different cultivar but cant find any reference to it with the same leaves?

Squash a leaf and smell it - should have a very pungent odour

Re: clerdendum inerme- native or not?
Clerodendrum inerme is a native species of Austalia. It occurs along the coast and on inshore islands, sometimes amongst mangroves or on the edges of rainforest; from NE NSW and SE Qld around to the NT and WA, on Christmas Island and into Papua New Guinea. It is apparently sometimes called the scrambling clerodendrum.

Re: clerdendum inerme- native or not?
The species is still considered native even if it does grow naturally somewhere else too. It just means its not endemic to australia.
