A reply: "Dear Colleagues, In this case of nomenclature issue one should be careful especially by considering the species distribution range, As mentioned by others, *Clerodendrum nutans* Wall. ex D.Don, (1825), is an later homonym of Jack 1820, and became nom. illeg. Hence now it is placed as a synonym of *C. wallichii* Merr. the other Malesian species, *Clerodendrum* *nutans* Wall. ex Jack, probably not found in India, as in Rajendran & Daniel in their account of Indian Verbenaceae not included this species. For the former species (*C. wallichii*), according to these authors it is distributed in Peninsular India, Maharastra, Eastern and NE India. If some one is identifying their specimens collected from India as C. nutans Wall. ex D.Don (based on literature / comparing with old specimens) then he should treat it as *C. Wallichii* Merr.
