REMARKS

This species was first described as Laurus curvifolia by Loureiro in his Flora Cochinchinensis (de Loureiro 1790: 252) . No Loureiro specimens could be found at the BM and P and Merrill does not mention any in his commentary on the work ( Merrill 1935). Therefore, a neotype needs to be selected. The P specimen of Poilane 29889 which fits well with the original description and has many mature inflorescences and flowers, and is therefore selected here as the neotype.
