A tree, 5 to 10 m high, glabrous or nearly so except the 

 cinereous-pubescent inflorescences. Branches usually grayish, 

 the branchlets stout, more or less compressed. Leaves 3-folio- 

 late, their petioles 5 to 10 cm long; leaflets coriaceous or 

 subcoriaceous, in general oblong-elliptic to obovate, 15 to 25 

 cm long, 6 to 12 cm wide, apex somewhat acuminate, base 

 acute, shining, lower surface punctate, both surfaces usually 

 greenish-olivaceous when dry; lateral nerves 12 to 15 on each 

 side of the midrib, prominent; petiolules 0.5 to 1.5 cm long^ 

 Inflorescences axillary, peduncled, many-flowered, more or less 

 cinereous-pubescent, 10 to 15 cm long, up to 15 cm wide, the 

 peduncles 3 to 9 cm long. Flowers white, their pedicels 2 to 

 3 mm long, slightly pubescent. Sepals 4, oblong to obovate, 

 obtuse, somewhat pubescent, about 1 mm long. Petals elliptic, 

 glabrous, 2.5 mm long. Stamens 4; filaments 3 mm long. 

 Fruits about 1 cm in diameter, of 4 subovoid, somewhat com- 

 pressed cocci. 



This species, long confused with Evodia glabra Blume, 

 chiefly on account of the erroneous identification of Cuming 

 1745 with Elume's species, is found from northern Luzon to 

 Mindanao, and apparently also in Celebes {Koorders 18758, 

 erroneously identified as Evodia minahassae Teysm. & Binn.). 

 It is represented by very numerous specimens, as follows :
