UKT: Because of an obvious mix-up of the plant(s) with the name {ring:pra:} or {ying:pra:}, the reader is advised to read both Dichroa febriguga fam. Saxifragacea and Clerodendrum serratum fam. Verbenaceae.
U Hla Maw's "Ying-byar" (Dichroa febrifuga fam. Saxifragacea) and Nagathein's {ying:pra:} ( Clerodendrum serratum fam. Verbenaceae) are treated as separate species in MMPDB2006.
