Miscellaneous information:
The fragments in the Meissner herbarium in NY (NY 00355696) may be from the holotype that Meissner still had seen. Jacquin's figure shows a single leaf that does not allow to tell which species it is, and the type in W apparently has been lost in World War 2.
The combination Ocotea martinicensis is no longer available because of Ocotea martinicensis Mez (Jahrb. Königl. Bot. Gart. Berlin 5: 270. 1889).
