108. CRUDIA Schreb. 



There are about 12 species of this genus in Malaya. The oldest name for the 

 genus is Touchiroa Aubl. ; this name applies, however, more particularly to those 

 species (the original Touchiroa aromatica, also Crudia bantamensis, C. gracilis and 

 C. Wrayi) that have only 3 or fewer than 3 leaflets ; the remaining species form the 

 group or section Crudia proper.
