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

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

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

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

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

 Vidal, Nos. 093 and 1353 Vtimiug also represent it. and it is possible that 

 No. 1451 Cuming is also the same, a fragment of the latter number existing in 

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

 PI. Prov. Manila (1880) 1.34; F.-Vill. Nov. App. (1883) 159, non Wall., should 

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

 the Tagalogs as MoUniain aso. literally "dog molave," Molauain or Molavc 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 Molavc.
