A new species of Lauraceae, Mezilaurus revolutifolia F. M. Alves \& P. L. R. Moraes from eastern Bahia, Brazil, is described and illustrated. This is the second species of the genus known to be endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic forest as previously only M. navalium (Allem\ão) Taub. ex Mez was known from this region. M. revolutifolia is distinguished from all other species of the genus by its revolute and glabrous leaves and glabrous racemose inflorescences with glabrous flowers clustered at the tips of the lateral branches.

Premise of research. The pantropical magnoliid family Lauraceae has an extensive macrofossil record that dates back to the Early Cretaceous. However, flower anatomy among extant species is relatively poorly known. We investigate flower structure and development in six Neotropical genera to elucidate the homologies of the floral parts, especially the prominent appendages that occur on the filaments of the inner fertile stamen whorl in some species.

Methodology. We used SEM and LM to examine flower organization and development in 11 species of six genera (Aniba, Cryptocarya, Endlicheria, Licaria, Nectandra, Ocotea) and flower vasculature in two species (Cryptocarya moschata and Ocotea prolifera).

Pivotal results. All the flowers examined are typical of Lauraceae: they are very small and possess two whorls of tepals that are similarly vascularized, with three bundles each (resembling bracteopetals), multiple androecium whorls, and a single carpel. Variation exists in some characters, especially in the androecium. A fourth (innermost) androecial whorl is present as staminodia in some species. The prominent stamen appendages are highly vascularized.

Conclusions. The presence of three vascular bundles supplying both outer and inner tepals supports their potential homology as bracteotepals. Floral vasculature also indicates that the staminodia of the fourth androecial whorl are derived from stamens. A potential homology between the stamens and appendages remains debatable, because existing evidence is contradictory.

The Lauraceae found in the FLONA of Caraj\ás (Par\á, Brazil) comprise 32 species belonging to 11 genera: Aiouea (4), Aniba (4), Cassytha (1), Endlicheria (2), Kubitzkia (1), Licaria (2), Mezilaurus (2), Nectandra (5), Ocotea (9), Paraia (1) and Rhodostemonodaphne (1). However, only Aiouea myristicoides, Aniba williamsii, Cassytha filiformis, Kubitzkia mezii, Mezilaurus itauba, Nectandra cuspidata and Ocotea puberula were recorded in the iron-ore outcrops, while all the other species ocurred in the forest.

The large genus Ocotea (c. 400 species) has been known to be paraphyletic with respect to most other Neotropical genera of Lauraceae for almost 20 years, but a phylogenetic classification has not yet been proposed. Here we present a phylogenetic analysis, based on ITS and psbA-trnH sequences of 123 species from the Ocotea complex, focused on the Neotropical species with bisexual flowers. Our results show that several well-supported clades can be recognized morphologically. We discuss the principles of splitting monophyletic genera from large paraphyletic groups, and we reinstate the genus Mespilodaphne as a first step towards a phylogenetic classification. In addition, three species previously included in Aiouea are transferred to Damburneya.

Cinnamomum is among the largest genera of the Lauraceae, including species from tropical to temperate Asia and from tropical to subtropical America. However, previous studies indicated that Cinnamomum might not be monophyletic in its current circumscription. We therefore re-investigated the genus and possible relatives with an increased taxon sample, particularly of the Neotropical species. Our results, based on sequences of the nuclear ITS region and the chloroplast spacers psbA-trnH and trnG-trnS, show that the Neotropical Cinnamomum species indeed do not form a monophyletic group with the Paleotropical species. Instead, the American species form a clade in which most species of the Neotropical genus Aiouea are nested within several subclades. According to the ITS data the Aiouea/Cinnamomum clade is sister to the likewise predominantly Neotropical Ocotea complex, rather than the two Paleotropical Cinnamomum clades. Therefore, Cinnamomum cannot be upheld in its current circumscription. As the type C. verum, is from Asia, the Neotropical species need to be placed in a different genus. We decided to transfer them to Aiouea here, because this is the oldest generic name in the Aiouea/Cinnamomum clade, and the only character separating Aiouea from Neotropical Cinnamomum is the number of pollen sacs per anther (di- vs. tetrasporangiate),
a feature that is known to be variable within several other genera as well. This transfer requires 42 new combinations and two nomina nova. In addition, six species described in the unpublished Ph.D. thesis of one of the authors (FLH) are validated in Aiouea here, and the only species of the genus Mocinnodaphne is transferred to Aiouea as well.

Abstract. This study refers to specimens of Lauraceae collected in Brazil by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius between 1817 and 1820. He collected 57 currently accepted species of Lauraceae, which belong to nine genera: Aniba, Cassytha, Cinnamomum, Cryptocarya, Dicypellium, Licaria, Nectandra, Ocotea, and Persea, for which Martius is known to have made about 99 different collections. The vast majority of them are nomenclatural types and, taking into account the synonyms involved, encompassing 26 holotypes, 23 lectotypes, and 30 syntypes. Besides Martius himself, early descriptions and citations of these materials were made by Nees von Esenbeck, Meissner, and Mez, the first monographers of the family. Martius\’s collections were the basis for the Flora Brasiliensis, where the taxonomic treatment of Lauraceae was made by the Swiss botanist Carl Daniel Friedrich Meissner in 1866, being of particular interest for indicating all the collections examined and available at that time. Here, we provide an annotated and updated list of 60 entries with information on the status of the names and their types, currently accepted names, collections found in different herbaria, accompanied by an Index to Scientific names and an Index to Collections. Although there are no cases of specimens of Lauraceae collected by Martius from his \“Martii Herbarium Florae Brasiliensis,\” they are also listed here since they have been attributed to him in literature. Lectotypes for two names, Cryptocarya speciosa, and Nectandra nitidula var. maior, are designated, and a new synonymy is proposed.

A phylogenetic analysis based on nuclear ITS and plastid trnK intron sequences confirms that Dahlgrenodendron, Sinopora, Triadodaphne, and Yasunia are members of the Cryptocarya group, as expected from morphology.\  Dahlgrenodendron from South Africa is sister to Aspidostemon from Madagascar. Triadodaphne inaequitepala is nested within Endiandra (both from Australasia), and Yasunia from South America is nested among South American Beilschmiedia species. Sinopora is a member of the Beilschmiedia clade, but its precise position is still uncertain.\  Among large genera of the group, Cryptocarya is clearly monophyletic, and Endiandra appears to be as well, if T. inaequitepala is included. Beilschmiedia is paraphyletic with respect to (at least) Potameia and Yasunia. Most well-supported clades within genera are geographically homogeneous, except a clade including the Chilean Cryptocarya alba and two New Caledonian species. Both Beilschmiedia and Cryptocarya have reached the Americas more than once.\  Four-locular anthers are plesiomorphic in the Cryptocarya group; two-locular anthers have arisen by fusion of the two pollen sacs of a theca. In the plesiomorphic fruit type, the ovary is completely enclosed in receptacular tissue; a superior fruit, seated free on its pedicel, is a synapomorphy of the Beilschmiedia clade.
