''Clerodendrum trichotomum'' (harlequin glorybower, glorytree, peanut butter tree) is a species of flowering plant in the genus ''Clerodendrum''. It is placed in the family Lamiaceae, or sometimes the Verbenaceae. It is native to China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and India.〔(''Clerodendrum trichotomum''. ) Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN).〕 It is a large shrub, growing high. The leaves are ovate, up to long, soft and downy or hairy, producing a peanut odor when crushed. The fragrant flowers are borne on branching peduncles. They have white petals, held within a green calyx which turns red as the fruits ripen. The fruits (drupes) are white, changing to bright blue and eventually dark blue on maturity. They contain the novel blue pigment Trichotomine.〔Iwadare S, Shizuri Y, Yamada K, Hirata Y. Synthesis of trichotomine, a blue pigment obtained from clerodendron trichotomum thunb. ''Tetrahedron''. 1978; 34(10):1457-1459. 〕 It is cultivated for its fragrant flowers, autumn colour, and ornamental berries. It is hardy but requires a sheltered position. The variety ''C. trichotomum'' var. ''fargesii'' (Farges' harlequin glorybower) has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.〔(''Clerodendrum trichotomum'' var.
