And possibly more poisonous than both of them added together Rusty,

devoid of the most popular ornamental plants.

I grew it (the Clerodendron) some years ago

I'm pleased someone could identify the species. But have you got the genus
name correct? Although they are totally unrelated and quite different, I
must admit that I always have to think twice before calling a plant
Clerodendrum or Crinodendron! Mind you, there are only a couple of species
of the latter and several hundred of the former.

According to the RHS Dictionary, it should be Clerodendrum.
