Clerodendrum indicum, commonly known as Turk's turban, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae). It is a perennial shrub or subshrub native to tropical and subtropical parts of Asia.
Cleroindicin A is present in Clerodendrum indicum. It is the oxaspirane of rengyol.
Nectaries over the calyx secrete a thick, white, slimy substance which pools in the calyx-cup at the base of the corolla-tube. This may function as an ant barrier.
Clerodendrum indicum is sometimes cultivated as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical regions. In some areas where it has been introduced, it grows in disturbed or open habitats.
