At Koung on the Tampassuk River, alt. 2000 feet ( Haviland, 1376). 
Evodia tenuistyla has very much in common with E. Roxburghiana, Benth., but it 
differs in the somewhat larger flowers and the slender, not capitate, stigma. 
EvopIA SUBUNIFOLIOLATA, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex. Ramuli pallidi, teretes, tomentelli. 
Folia opposita, omnia (?) wnifoliolata, petiolo circa 5 lin. longo, dense tomentello, 
subterete, apice subarticulato et interdum plus minusve torto suffulta, foliolum 
elliptico- vel obovato-oblongum, basi acutum, abrupte acuminatum, tenuiter coriaceum, 
supra glaucum, subnitens, glaberrimum, infra in gemma dense tomentellum, costa 
exceptá, mox glabratum, nervis lateralibus utrinque 8-10, 1-13 lin. sub margine 
anastomosantibus, utrinque prominulis, venularum reticulatione laxá. Inflorescentize 
axillares, tomentelle, pedunculo 1-14 poll. longo suffultee, breves, pauciramulosee. 
Flores ignoti.  Carpella 1-4, a basi libera, oblique obovoidea, griseo-viridia, 
tomentella, 4 /in. longa, plane aperta, 6-63 lin. lata. Semina fere semper solitaria, 
atra, nitida, 2-21 lin. dimetientia, funiculo erasso, vix 1 lin. longo. 
At 6000 feet (Haviland, 1193). 
The leaflets somewhat resemble those of E. triphylla, DC., but they are covered 
underneath with a dense soft tomentum in a young state, which persists on the mid-rib, 
and they usually terminate with a short narrow acumen. In the specimens I have before 
me the leaves are all unifoliolate, without a trace of lateral leaflets; but Dr. Haviland 
states on the label “ leaves trifoliolate." This may, perhaps, refer to the lower ones. The 
capsules are much larger than those of Æ. triphylla, and rival those of E. fravinifolia, 
Hook. fil. As to the affinity, it is difficult to form a precise idea in the absence of 
flowers. The plant resembles a certain undescribed species from the Island of Panay 
(Vidal, 2275) so far as the leaves are concerned, and it might be a true Melicope.

At the Penokok, alt. 3200 feet (Haviland, 1318). 
. Distribution (of species): Malay Peninsula, from Singapore (Hullet, 832) to Penang 
| (C. Curtis, 204) ; Borneo. 
| I am not able to find any characters of specific distinction between the Peninsular and 
o the Bornean plant. The floral structure is exactly the same in both, except that the flowers 
are a little larger, if taken on an average, in the specimens from Singapore than in those
