EVODIA SESSILIFOLIOLA sp. nov. 
Arbor usque ad 10 m alta, partibus junioribus inflorescentiis- 
que plus minusve villosis; foliis plerumque 3-foliolatis, interdum 
1-foliolatis, foliolis chartaceis ad subcoriaceis, sessilibus, oblongo- 
obovatis, usque ad 20 cm longis, basi cuneatis, apice obtusis, 
subtus punctatis, nervis utrinque circiter 13, subtus perspicuis; 
inflorescentiis axillaribus, pedunculatis, usque ad 10 cm longis; 
floribus 4-meris, petalis circiter 2.5 mm longis. 
A tree, 8 to 10 m high, the younger parts and the inflores- 
cences more or less villous, the indumentum grayish, the older 
parts soon glabrous. Leaves mostly 3-foliolate, sometimes 
1-foliolate ones on the same branchlets with the 3-foliolate ones, 
their petioles 5 to 7 cm long; leaflets sessile, chartaceous to sub- 
coriaceous, brownish or rather pale when dry, somewhat shining, 
obovate to oblong-obovate, 9 to 20 cm long, 4 to 10 cm wide, the 
mature ones glabrous, beneath distinctly punctate, apex obtuse 
to rounded, base of the terminal leaflet usually cuneate, equi- 
lateral, of the lateral ones usually obtuse and distinctly inequi- 
lateral; nerves about 13 on each side of the midrib, prominent 
on the lower surface, anastomosing, the reticulations prominent. 
Inflorescences axillary, peduncled, up to 10 cm long, paniculate, 
rather many flowered. Flowers white, 4-merous, their pedicels 
up to 2 mm in length, densely villous. Sepals oblong, 0.5 mm 
long. Petals ovate, about 2.5 mm long. Disk densely villous. 
Fruit of 3 or 4 cocci, glabrous, the individual cocci about 3 mm 
in diameter.

Among the Philippine species the alliance of this form is 
with Evodia semecarpifolia Merr., and among the extra-Philip- 
pine forms with E. lunur-ankenda (Gaertn.) Merr. It is distin- 
guished from both by its sessile leaflets. The combination of 
8-foliolate and 1-foliolate leaves on the same branchlets is 
rather unusual in the genus.
