Rohwer (1986) considered this name illegitimate, because he thought that its basionym, Laurus cuneifolia Ruiz & Pav., had not been validly published before 1955. However, the plates have been distributed at some time between 1804 and 1830, and the plate of this species shows floral details. According to Art. 42.3 / 42.4 this is sufficient for valid publication, although the precise date cannot be ascertained.
