Miscellaneous information:
Rohwer (Mitt. Inst. Allg. Bot. Hamburg 20: 109. 1986) had recognized O. complicata as a valid species, based on more coriaceous leaves, larger flowers, a different cupule shape, and a different geographic distribution. Assis & Mello-Silva (Novon 20: 378. 2010) placed it in the synonymy of Ocotea fasciculata (Nees) Mez. Moraes (2015, Harvard Pap. Bot. 20: 180. 2015) insisted that this reduction was not justified.
