317B87BDA276F077FD1B89B9E248FC50.taxon	description	Picrella, recognised herein to comprise three species, one with three varieties, is endemic to New Caledonia, occurring throughout the Grande- Terre, on the Île des Pins, and in the Loyalty Islands (including Île Walpole, which lies about 140 km SSE of Maré). It appears to be most nearly related to the New Caledonian genus Comptonella Baker f. (see HARTLEY 1983), differing mainly in its simple trichomes (vs. trichomes stellate to lepidote except in C. glabra T. G. Hartley, which is glabrous throughout), its possession (vs. apparent lack) of a floral disc, and its style, which joins the carpels laterally (vs. apically or subapically). Also, it tends to differ from Comptonella in its carpels, which in flower and fruit are distinct or very shortly connate at base (vs. carpels connate at base or up to nearly their full length). From genera of Simaroubaceae s. l. (including Irvingiaceae, Kirkiaceae, Picramniaceae, and Surianaceae), judging from the literature and the study of specimens at hand, Picrella differs mainly in its possession (vs. usual lack) of punctate oil glands, its opposite (vs. alternate) leaves, and its albuminous (vs. exalbuminous or nearly so) seeds with bony, sclerenchymatous (vs. fleshy to pergamentaceous) testa. Authors placed some taxa now referable to Picrella in Euodia J. R. Forst. & G. Forst., for which they used the variant spelling Evodia. Because quoting in each instance the misspelling used would make the literature citations complicated and cumbersome, we have used the original spelling Euodia in the relevant synonymies presented below.	en	Hartley, Thomas G., Mabberley, David J.

Mabb., Plant-book, corr. repr: 707 (1989), excl. syn. — Type: Anon. s. n., France, cult. Jardin des Plantes, Paris, 22 Sep. 1871, fl. Ƌ, said to be from Mexico (holo-, P-Baillon!). Shrub or tree 0.5 - 10 m high, dioecious, monoecious, or rarely polygamous (with Ƌ, ♀, and ♀ Ƌ flowers about equal in number); oil glands comparatively inconspicuous. Young branchlets glabrous to puberulent; terminal bud nearly glabrous to pubescent. Leaves trifoliolate and / or 1 - bladed (unifoliolate and / or simple), 1.5 - 14 cm long; petiole glabrous to puberulent, exalate or alate (wings up to 0.5 mm wide on each side), 0.1 - 5 cm long; petiolules obsolete or up to 6 mm long; blades glabrous or nearly so, suborbicular to ovate, elliptic or narrowly so, obovate, oblanceolate, spatulate, or linear, 0.4 - 11 × 0.15 - 6 cm, base rounded to obtuse, acute, cuneate, or attenuate, margin irregularly crenulate or entire, apex rounded to obtuse or acuminate, usually retuse, secondary veins prominulous to obscure above, 4 - 12 per side. Inflorescences glabrous to puberulent 1 - to many-flowered, 0.24 - 8 cm long, up to 3 cm wide; pedicels 0.5 - 4 mm long (1.5 - 4.5 mm long in fruit). Flowers Ƌ, ♀, or rarely ♀ Ƌ; sepals glabrous to sparsely puberulent abaxially, 0.4 - 1 mm long; petals green to white or yellow or pink, glabrous or nearly so, 1.5 - 2 mm long, usually deciduous in fruit; stamens 4, in Ƌ and ♀ Ƌ flowers 0.6 - 1.5 mm long, 0.3 - 1 mm long in ♀ flowers, filaments pilosulose or sparsely so adaxially or glabrous, anthers 0.15 - 0.4 mm long; gynoecium in ♀ and ♀ Ƌ flowers 0.7 - 1.5 mm long (0.3 - 0.75 mm long in Ƌ flowers), ovaries glabrous to pubescent, 1 - ovuled, style glabrous, including stigma 0.4 - 1 mm long. Drupes at maturity white to yellow or pinkish white, glabrous or nearly so (abortive carpels glabrous to pubescent), 3 - 5 mm long, rarely beaked. Seeds solitary, 2.5 - 4 mm long. Picrella trifoliata is widely and ± continuously variable, particularly in the distribution of indumentum, the complexity, size, and shape of leaves, and the complexity and size of inflorescences. Three variants seem to warrant formal recognition.	en	Hartley, Thomas G., Mabberley, David J. (2003): The identity of Picrella Baill. (Rutaceae) with a revision of the genus.
