A tree, 5 to 10 m high, glabrous or nearly so except the 
cinereous-pubescent inflorescences. Branches usually grayish, 
the branchlets stout, more or less compressed. Leaves 3-folio- 
late, their petioles 5 to 10 cm long; leaflets coriaceous or 
subcoriaceous, in general oblong-elliptic to obovate, 15 to 25 
em long, 6 to 12 cm wide, apex somewhat acuminate, base 
acute, shining, lower surface punctate, both surfaces usually 
greenish-olivaceous when dry; lateral nerves 12 to 15 on each 
side of the midrib, prominent; petiolules 0.5 to 1.5 cm long. 
Inflorescences axillary, peduncled, many-flowered, more or less 
cinereous-pubescent, 10 to 15 cm long, up to 15 em wide, the 
peduncles 3 to 9 cm long. Flowers white, their pedicels 2 to 
3 mm long, slightly pubescent. Sepals 4, oblong to obovate, 
obtuse, somewhat pubescent, about 1 mm long. Petals elliptic, 
glabrous, 2.5 mm long. Stamens 4; filaments 3 mm long. 
Fruits about 1 cm in diameter, of 4 subovoid, somewhat com- 
pressed cocci. 
This species, long confused with Evodia glabra Blume, 
chiefly on account of the erroneous identification of Cuming 
1745 with Blume’s species, is found from northern Luzon to 
Mindanao, and apparently also in Celebes (Koorders 18758, 
erroneously identified as Evodia minahassae Teysm. & Binn.).
