MERRILL. 
the claw about 1.5 mm long; wings and keel nearly as long as 
the limb, clawed, narrow. Stamens monadelphous, the vexillary 
one united with the others at the base, then free for about 0.5 
mm, then united with the others again, forming a closed tube, 
five of the filaments bearing fertile anthers about 0.4 mm long, 
the other five without anthers. Ovary cylindric, somewhat pu- 
bescent, bearded at the apex, the style short, curved ; ovules about 
10. Young pods somewhat flattened, slightly pubescent, 4 cm 
long, 3 mm wide.

EVODIA Forst. 
Evodia villosa sp. nov. 
Frutex circiter 1.5 m altus, ramulis, subtus foliis inflorescenti- 
isque dense f ulvo-villosus ; foliis unifoliolatis, foliolis ellipticis 
vel oblongo-ellipticis, breviter acuminatis vel acutis, 10 ad 15 
cm longis, nervis prominentibus, utrinque 7 ad 10; inflores- 
centiis axillaribus, brevibus, in alabastro densissimis; floribus 
4-meris, calycis villosis. 
A shrub about 1.5 m high, the branchlets, petioles, lower 
surfaces of the leaves and inflorescence densely fulvous-villous, 
the indumentum rather pale. Leaves opposite, 1-foliolate, the 
petiole stout, about 2 cm long. Leaflets elliptic to oblong- 
elliptic, coriaceous, 10 to 15 cm long, 3 to 6.5 cm wide, rather 
pale when dry, shining, the apex shortly acuminate or merely 
acute, the base acute, rarely somewhat rounded, the upper 
surface fulvous-villous, densely so on the midrib and nerves; 
lateral nerves 7 to 10 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 
arched-anastomosing, the reticulations distinct. Inflorescence 
in the upper axils, in bud dense, not exceeding the petioles, many- 
flowered. Flowers 4-merous, yellowish-green. Sepals obtuse, 
oblong, densely villous outside, 2 mm long. Petals (in nearly 
mature bud) oblong-elliptic, obtuse, punctate, 2 mm long. Ovary 
ovoid, densely villous, about 1.3 mm long; style subquadrangular, 
subsessile, about 0.6 mm in diameter. Stamens 4, short. Fruit 
unknown.

A species not closely allied to any other known Philippine form, well 
characterized by its villous, pale-fulvous indumentum.
