altitudes. 
This species closely resembles material from the Malay Penin- 
sula identified as Evodia latifolia DC. which I do not think can 
be referred to de Candolle’s species which was based wholly on 
Ampacus latifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 186, t. 61, a species 
with membranaceous pubescent leaves and in all probability 
identified with Miquel’s conception of the species as redescribed 
by him from Halmahera specimens.2. Evodia glabra Blume is re- 
mote from the present species and is identical with E. aromatica 
Blume, which in turn is scarcely distinct from E. lunur-ankenda 
(Gaertn.) Merr.

A small tree, the younger parts densely cupreous-lepidote, the 
branches terete, glabrous, pale-brownish, somewhat lenticellate, 
the ultimate branchlets about 2 mm in diameter. Leaves pin- 
nate, 12 to 17 cm long, 5-foliolate, the petioles and rachis lepi- 
dote; leaflets opposite, chartaceous to subcoriaceous, elliptic- 
ovate, pale-olivaceous and shining when dry, 5 to 8 cm long, 
2.5 to 3.5 cm wide, the apex rather abruptly and obtusely 
acuminate, the base acuminate or acute, the upper surface 
smooth, glabrous, both surfaces minutely puncticulate, the lower 
surface sparingly cupreous-lepidote especially near the midrib 
and nerves, ultimately glabrous; lateral nerves about 7 on each 
side of the midrib, slender; petiolules lepidote, 5 to 10 mm long. 
Panicles axillary, solitary, about 4 cm long, branched from near
