(Verbenaceae, non-native) – vouchered from Passaic Co., NJ; possibly adventive> trip leader Joe Labriola states “The Clerodendrum collected on the lower east-facing slope of Garret Mountain is not located in an area where horticultural plantings were installed. There are also no Clerodendrum planted with the other recent ornamental horticultural plantings around the Lambert Castle building, walkways, and parking lots. How it got in its present location remains a mystery. There are currently several plants of various sizes present and I will monitor during next growing season.” Bill Standeart states ”Probably not spreading much, but a persistent, established patch. Looks like sprouted from seeds that came in with dumped garden waste.”
