Clerodendrum quadriloculare

Clerodendrum quadriloculare (known as the bronze-leaved clerodendrum, fireworks plant,[3][4] Philippine glorybower, shooting star or starburst bush[4] in English, and bagawak or bagawak morado[3][4] in Filipino) is a species of flowering plant native to New Guinea and the Philippines.

It is one of many species previously included in the family Verbenaceae, but transferred to the Lamiaceae based on molecular studies.

The leaf blades are oblong and up to 20 cm (8 in) long, the upper surface being green and the underside purple; they have rounded bases, wavy margins and pointed tips.

[10] The bronze-leaved clerodendrum is grown as an ornamental shrub but it has become naturalised in many locations, in some of which it is viewed as an invasive species.

Additionally, cuttings and pieces of detached roots are easily moved with soil and can develop into new plants, and the seeds, which germinate readily, are spread by animals and birds in their droppings.
