Volkameria is a former genus of plants in the Lamiaceae now merged with Clerodendrum. The volkamerias are verbenaceous shrubs, with fleshy or corky fruit.
According to OED the genus was named after Johann Georg Volckamer (1616-1693), a German botanist, though other sources give credit to his son, Johann Volckamer (1662-1744), or to Johann Christoph Volkamer (1644-1720), another German botanist.
