C. bungei in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden

... that despite being called Mexican hydrangea, Clerodendrum bungei (pictured) is from China and not a hydrangea? Source: ""Clerodendrum bungei is found in many of China's provinces" ([1])
- ALT1:... that Clerodendrum bungei (pictured), a native of China, has escaped gardens and naturalized in the Southeastern United States? Source: "It is native to China." "It has escaped gardens and naturalized from Texas to Georgia and Florida." ([2])

Reviewed: Valerian Rybar
Comment: The Flora of China lists the provinces where C. bungei is native. I thought it would be better to say it is native to all but two than to name 20-something provinces.
