Evodia (Greek, pleasant odor). Rutaceae. Ornamental woody plants grown chiefly for their handsome foliage. Deciduous or evergreen trees or shrubs: trunk with smooth bark: winter-Buds naked: Lvs. opposite, petioled, simple or pinnate with entire punctate 1ft s.: fls. in terminal or axillary panicles or corymbs, unisexual, usually 4-merous, less often 5-merous; sepals imbricate; petals valvate or slightly imbricate; stamens 4-5, at the base of a cupular disk: carpels 4-5, each with 2 ovules, nearly free or connate, with a cylindric style, at maturity dehiscent, 2-valved, 1-2-seeded. —About 60 species in E. Asia, from Korea and N. China to S. Asia.( Austral, and Polynesia. Allied to Zanthoxylum which is easily distinguished by its alternate Lvs.; very similar in habit and foliage to Phellodendron which besides in the berry-like frs. differs in the winter buds being inclosed in the base of the petiole, while in Evodia they are borne free in the axils. The cultivated hardy species are strong-growing deciduous trees with rather large pinnate leaves of aromatic odor when bruised, and with whitish flowers in terminal broad panicles followed by small capsules exposing glossy black seeds when opening. Evodia Daniellii has proved hardy at the Arnold Arboretum. E. glauca and E. Henryi. are somewhat tenderer. There are also a few tropical species from New Guinea, rarely cultivated as warmhouse evergreens; they are little known and their correct names have not yet been determined. Propagation is by seeds and of the warm- house species by cuttings of half-ripened wood; probably also by root-cuttings. E. elegans, Hort. Evergreen: lvs. 3-foliolate; lfts. linear-lanceolate, undulate and crenate; resembling Aralia elegantissima. New Guinea. F.E. 1890:291. Gng. 12:404. G. 21:273.—E. formosa, Hort. A similar species, intro. in 1900 by Sander & Co. This and the preceding are warmhouse evergreens and belong probably to species already described.—E. officinalis, Dode. Allied to E. glauca. Small tree: lfts. 5-11, ovate to elliptic-oblong, acuminate, pubescent and light green beneath: infl. pubescent: fr. glabrous. Cent. China.—E. rutaecarpa, Hook. f. & Thorns. Allied to E. glauca. Small deciduous tree: 1 ft. short-petioled, broader, pubescent on both sides: infl. smaller and denser, with stout pedicels, pubescent, Japan. Himalayas. S. Z. 1:21 (as Boymia rutaecarpa).—K. velutina. Rehd. A Wilson. Allied to E. Henryi, but Lvs. and young branchlets densely short-pubescent: fruiting corymb 4-8 in. across. Cent. China. Alfred Rehder. CH
