Glorybowers - Clerodendrum (Taxonomy, Characteristics, Distribution, Images)

Glorybowers

Also known as: Bagflower

Glorybowers are a large, diverse group of flowering trees, shrubs, and vines native to tropical and subtropical regions. Several glorybowers sport handsome, multicolored flowers, and are thus planted ornamentally (though usually only in warm-climate gardens and parks). The Latin name is a combination of the Greek words for "clergy" and "tree", referencing the use of some of the species in ancient religious rituals.
