Clerodendrum bungei an Ornamental Plant with Several New Records Outside of Parks and Gardens in Türkiye
Abstract
Clerodendrum bungei (Lamiaceae) is a deciduous shrub that occurs both within its native Asian range and beyond to temperate and tropical regions around the world as a result of both unintentional and intentional introductions for ornamental uses. Although it was listed as an ornamental plant in parks and gardens of Türkiye, this paper presents a list of 55 records including 47 new records of C. bungei outside parks and gardens of Black Sea Region. The new list includes 11 records from Artvin, 10 from Rize, 8 from Trabzon, 14 from Giresun, 3 from Ordu, and 1 from Samsun. The rapid increase in the number of new localities outside gardens and parks of Türkiye in the last 10 years shows that the species will become an invasive alien species in this region shortly. So, it will outcompete native plant species and impact habitat values, thus it is important to closely monitor the populations outside parks and gardens in this region and should take the necessary precautions for local farmers and administrations.
