A species widely distributed in Lnzon, usually somewhat pubescent, in which 
chai'acter Blanco’s short and imperfect description does not ai)]dy. 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 iSchauer as doubtful, or not sulliciently known. According to 
Vidal, Nos. 093 and 1353 Cuming also represent it, and it is [lossible that 
No. 1451 Cuming is also the same, a fragment of the latter nunibei' existing in 
our herbarium. From the native names cited, Premna viburnuidcs Vidal, Cat. 
PI. Prov. Manila (1880) 134; F.-Vill. No\'. A]ip. (1883) 159, non Wall., should 
be referred to this species, Premna nauseosa being (juite universally known to 
the Tagalogs as Molauain aso, literally "dog molave,” Molauain or Molave being 
the Tagalog name for the valuable timber trees of the genus Yitex, the timber of 
Premna nauseosa- being considerably utilized for certain constructions, and some- 
what resembling Molave.
