Miscellaneous information:
Based on the illegitimate name Oreodaphne jacquini, which was based on Laurus martinicensis Jacq. The identity of the latter remains uncertain. Meisner interpreted it in the sense of a species that is most likely a synonym of Ocotea aciphylla. 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.
