Miscellaneous information:
The correct name for this species depends on the accepted date of publication of Laurus purpurea Ruiz & Pavón. The plates of their Flora Peruviana et Chilensis, volume IV, have been ready for distribution in 1804, but the first known reference to them is from 1830. The present name has been published during that interval.
