Psydrax multiflora, a new species of Vanguerieae collected in the Palawan, Luzon Island Philippines is herein described and illustrated. Morphological observation showed that P. multilfora approaches three Malesian Psydrax species namely; P. amplifolia, P. nitida and P. puberula. However, P. multiflora can be delineated from the three with its caudate leaf apex, 20–30 flowered umbellate inflorescences and broadly triangular corolla lobes.
