Vitex sp. will be used as a placeholder for a plant in the Philippines called the Mulawin surot. I have a few plants that came with tat name when I received a collection from another person in Cebu. There is still discussion if this related to Gmelina or Vitex.
There may be some simlarities between this plant and Mulawing pusa, aso, or daga. Another alignment may be a diminuative shrub similar to the Molave tree(Vitex parviflora).
Yes, another research project. Not sure this is what I expected, but oh well. I thought my plant that was called Mulawin aso looked more liek Gmelina exotica or Ellyptica, can’t remember which.

Firstly, we are uploading pictures of our plants to show the parts of a plant that may help in identification. Secondly, we only have so many plants and my photography skills are not actually skillful. Finally, if it would help to see another angle or view, view us a message and we will attempt to get the right picture perspective.
