Clerodendrum floribundum
A small tree with noticable persistent red calyx with black seeds. A food plant for the larval stages of the Common Tit Butterfly. Also used medicinally by aboriginals as a tea, drunk for aches & pains.
Found across northern Australia in open forest & woodlands, occasionally in monsoon forests. This one was seen in a coastal open forest in poor rocky soil.

Thanks Mayra! I thought they were pretty special too :)
Wow!
I see now NatrilList. Thank you & thank you Harsha, yes they stand out in the Aussie bush!
Awesome colors!
Do I have the ID incorrect do you think NatralList? I'm in Australia. I'm fairly sure it's correct.
