Lectotype, selected by Kostermans 1938: Jamaica. Swartz S #R-3172. Isolectotypes BM #43650, C #10013506, S #R-3171, SBT #11590.
Miscellaneous information:
The reference given by Swartz refers to Patrick Browne, The civil and natural history of Jamaica, p.214. 1756. "Laurus ? 3." is described as "Foliis obverse ovatis subtus cinereis, fructibus oblongis sparsis, calicibus deciduis". This diagnosis fits this species, but of course this name is not a validly published binomial. Kostermans (Recueil Trav. Bot. Néerl. 35: 1938) selected one of the Swartz specimens in S as the lectotype.
