Miscellaneous information:
van der Werff 1986 (Taxon 35: 164-166) argued that this was not a Lauraceae because of the persistent style described by Hamilton. Kostermans 1988 (Taxon 37: 132-133), on the other hand, argued that this was not sufficient for exclusion, as the style still may be present in young fruit.
