EVODIA Foist. 
Evodia reticulata Merrill n. sp. 
Frutex 2 ad 3 metralis, foliis trifoliatis, rariter unifoliatis, oppositis 
vel suboppositis, foliolis 5 ad 9 cm. longis, coriaceis, nitidis, supra glabris, 
subtus ad nervos fulvo-pubescentibus, dense reticulatis, obovatis vel 
elliptico-ovatis, apice obtusis truncatis vel retusis, paniculis axillaribus, 
ad 7 cm. longis, dense iulvo-pubeseentibus ; flores 4-meri, 3 mm. longi, 
in ramulis ultimi ordinis congesti. 
A shrub 1 to 3 m. high. Branches stout, the older ones nearly glabrous, 
light gray, the younger ones densely fulvous-pubescent. Leaves opposite 
or subopposite, trifoliate, rarely unifoliate, the petioles 1.5 to 2 cm. long, 
at first densely pubescent, becoming glabrous and rugose ; leaflets coriace- 
ous, shining, densely closely reticulate, glabrous above, fulvous-pubescent 
on the nerves and midrib beneath, obovate to elliptical ovate, the base 
subacute or obtuse, that of the lateral ones somewhat inequilateral, the 
apex obtuse, truncate or somewhat retuse, 5 to 9 cm. long, 3 to 5.5 cm. 
wide; nerves prominent, 9 to 11 on each side of the midrib; petiolule of 
the middle leaflet about 1 cm. long, of the lateral ones 2 to 3 mm. long, 
pubescent. Panicles in the upper axils, densely fulvous-pubescent, about 
7 cm. long, many flowered; pedicels 1 to 2 mm. long, the bracts and 
bracteoles minute. Flowers white, crowded at the apices of the ultimate 
branches, 4-merous, 3 mm. long. Sepals broadly ovate, acute very slightly 
pubescent, less than 1 mm. long. Petals 4, elliptical ovate, acute, 2.5 
mm. long, glabrous. Ovary glabrous, 4-lobed ; style about 1.5 mm. long ; 
stigma capitate. 
In open heaths and in thickets at 2,400 m. alt. (No. 5711). 
A species recognizable by its coriaceous leaves which are densely rather pro- 
minently reticulate and pubescent on the nerves and midrib beneath.
