EVODIA CORIACEA sp. nov. 
Arbor parva, partibus junioribus exceptis glabra, ramulis cir- 
citer 6 mm diametro; foliis 3-foliolatis, foliolis coriaceis, obo-

coccis ovoideis, 4 mm longis. 
A small tree, glabrous except the younger parts, ultimate 
branches about 6 mm in diameter, rugose, the petiolar scars large 
and conspicuous. Leaves 8-foliate, their petioles 3.5 to 7 cm 
long; leafiets coriaceous, somewhat shining, obovate to oblong- 
obovate, 6 to 8 cm long, 3.5 to 4.5 cm wide, the apex broadly 
rounded, sometimes slightly retuse, narrowed below to the cu- 
neate or somewhat decurrent-acuminate base; lateral nerves 
about 7 on each side of the midrib, prominent and conspicuous as 
are the lax reticulations; petiolules 5 to 8 mm long. Infructes- 
cences axillary, 2 to 2.5 cm long, depauperate-paniculate, the 
fruits somewhat crowded, the individual cocci ovoid, about 4mm

In many respects this species resembles Evodia laxireta Merr., 
from which it is readily distinguished by its shorter infructes- 
cences and smaller fruits, as well as by its shorter, differently 
shaped, rounded or retuse, fewer-nerved leaflets.
