A species widely distributed in Luzon, usually soinewbat pubescent, in which 

 character Blanco'a short and imperfect description does not apply. It is, however, 

 the only species at present known to nie that has a somewhat disagreeable odor, 

 the character on which Blanco's specific name was based. 'Phis species is 

 enumerated by Schauer as doubtful, or not sufficiently known. According to 

 Vidal, Nos. 693 and 1353 Cuming also represent it. and it is possible thai 

 No. 14.11 Cuming is also the same, a fragment of the latter number existing in 

 our herbarium. From the native names cited. Premna viburnoides Vidal, Cat. 

 PI. Prov. Manila (1880) 134; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 159, non Wall., should 

 be referred to this species, Premna nauseosa being quite universally known to 

 the Tagalogs as Molauain aso, literally "dog molave," Molauain or Molave being 

 the Tagalog name for the valuable timber trees of the genus Vitex, the timber of 

 Premna nauseosa being considerably utilized for certain constructions, and some 

 what resembling Molave.
