This plant is clearly not Phaleria clerodendron. This is most obvious from looking at the leaf arrangement. Phaleria have opposite leaves. The plant in this photograph has alternate leaves. There are also numerous other problems, such as the lack of a drip tip on the leaves, the venation and the climbing habit. But the leaf arrangement is very obvious and rules out any plant in the genus Phaleria. Mark Marathon (talk) 03:17, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looking more closely, there does appear to be a Phaleria in the photo, growing at ground level to the right of the sign. However the plant that occupies most of this photo is a different species. Mark Marathon (talk) 03:20, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
