Laurus aurantiodora Ruiz & Pav.

Rohwer (1986) considered this name invalid, because the text of the Flora Peruviana et Chilensis 4 remained unpublished until 1955. However, the plates have been distributed at some time between 1804 and 1830, and the plate of this species shows floral details and fruit details. According to Art. 42.3 / 42.4 this is sufficient for valid publication, although the precise date cannot be ascertained. Another name for this species, Ocotea longifolia Kunth, has been published in 1818, so that the correct name for this species may be either Ocotea aurantiodora (Ruiz & Pav.) Mez or Ocotea longifolia Kunth.
