Investigations of the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert reveal evidence for the connection of lauraceous fl owers to fruits through a developmental series. Youngest fruits are found with attached fl oral remnants. Later stages show receptacle enlargement, fruit wall thickening, and the development of abundant sclereid clusters. Mature fruits are borne on a shallow receptacle and have an endocarp palisade layer of radially elongate cells with stellate outlines, an inner mesocarp layer of radiately arranged sclereid clusters, and a fl eshy outer mesocarp layer containing numerous idioblasts with contents. Each mature fruit bears a single seed retaining the outer integument with an innermost radially elongate transfusion cell layer. Mature seeds contain a cellular embryo bearing idioblasts. Fruits are distinguishable from previously described anatomically preserved fossil taxa. This study represents the only documented developmental reconstruction of fossil fruits of Lauraceae and that self-pruning evolved prior to the Eocene. Anatomical modifi cations over the developmental sequence indicate that different stages of maturity preserved together, may be erroneously identifi ed as several taxa at a fossil locality. Fossil morphotypes typically underestimate species number, but this study suggests that the number of inferred species based on fruit types may be infl ated for Lauraceae, potentially exaggerating the tropical interpretation of the paleoenvironment.

This paper presents the taxonomic study of the species of Nectandra from Mato Grosso do Sul. Eight species of Nectandra were identified through the morphological analyses of specimens collected in different regions from the State: N. amazonum Nees, N. cissiflora Nees, N. cuspidata Nees, N. falcifolia (Nees) J.A. Castigl. ex Mart. Crov. \& Piccinini, N. gardneri Meisn., N. hihua (Ruiz \& Pav.) Rohwer, N. megapotamica (Spreng.) Mez and N. psammophila Nees. Identification key, morphological descriptions, geographic distribution, habitat, fenologic aspect, taxonomic comments, and illustrations are presented.

This analysis presents a revised distribution for Ocotea curucutuensis J.B. Baitello in southeastern Brazil. Because of its strong similarity with Ocotea spixiana (Nees) Mez this species remained unrecognized for over a hundred years after the first collection by A. F. M. Glaziou in 1888, but it was recently shown to be a distinct species. Although the species was originally described from material from the Serra do Mar in S\ão Paulo, subsequent new collections and a wider investigation of herbarium material have shown that it is, in fact, quite widespread, especially in the Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira and that it is necessary to revise and enlarge the known distribution. O. curucutuensis has a wide distribution in forests in the higher parts of the Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira, in the states of Rio de Janeiro and S\ão Paulo, in the southeast of Brazil, while O. spixiana has a more northerly distribution.

Alseodaphne, Dehaasia and Nothaphoebe are, morphologically, three closely related genera belonging to the Persea subgroup of the Lauraceae. A total of 214 binomials of the three genera have been published by various authors (International Plant Names Index, March 2007), of which 44 have been attributed to species occurring in Borneo. In revising the Lauraceae for the Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak Project, we recognize 40 distinct species (i.e., Alseodaphne 11; Dehaasia 16; and Nothaphoebe 13) for Sabah and Sarawak. These include 34 previously known and 6 undescribed species. Despite many attempts by various authors (Rohwer 1993, 2000, Van der Werff \& Richter 1996, Van der Werff 2001) to clarify the generic delimitation between these three genera, to date there remains to be no satisfactory solution. In the absence of a well-accepted generic delimitation and classification within the Lauraceae as a whole, and for the purpose of preparing revision of the Lauraceae for the Tree Flora of Sabah and Sarawak, we have opted for recognising Alseodaphne, Dehaasia and Nothaphoebe as
distinct genera. The distinguishing morphological characters of these three genera, based on specimens from Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak, in particular) are presented.
