Neither Phoebe nor Cinnamomum – the tetrasporangiate species of Aiouea (Lauraceae)

Incongruence of morphological determinations and DNA barcode sequences: a case study in Cinnamomum (Lauraceae)

“…In order to detect possible misidentifications or contaminations, sequences diverging from the most frequent haplotypes were subjected to a BLAST search (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, https:// blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi). In addition, we inserted the ITS sequences into a subset of the ITS data matrix of Rohde & al. (2017) and performed maximum likelihood analyses of the entire ITS region and the separate ITS-1 and ITS-2 regions in MEGA 6, with taxa of the Persea group (Machilus grijsii Hance, Phoebe sheareri (Hemsl.)…”

“…During a molecular systematic investigation on the genus Cinnamomum Schaeff. (Rohde & al. 2017), we received a sample of a plant cultivated in the Botanical Garden München-Nymphenburg (Munich), Germany, with the accession number 2006/1425 ( Fig.…”

“…The relationships among the species of Cinnamomum and within the Ocotea complex have been described in detail in previous papers (Huang & al. 2016, Rohde & al. 2017, Trofimov & al.…”

Aniba subbullata (Lauraceae), a new species from the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil with notes on the leaf epidermis of congeneric species

“…Among the species that have been described from the region of the Chapada Diamantina in Bahia, are a species of Aiouea ( A. rubrinervia Lorea‐Hern. in Rohde et al., ), five species of Ocotea (Yasuda, ; Assis and Mello‐Silva, ; Moraes and van der Werff, ), and one species of Persea (van der Werff, ), but none of Aniba . The last species of Aniba described from Brazilian collections was A. ferrea Kubitzki (Kubitzki and Renner, : 80), from the Amazon region, showing that the recognition of novelties within Aniba is no easy task, for the reasons mentioned by Matta et al .…”

Cinnamomum mabberleyi, a new species from Vietnam and Laos

“…The South American species have now been moved to Aiouea Aubl. (Rohde et al, 2017). The bark, flowers and fruits of a small number of species are used as spices, and these species are now commonly cultivated throughout the tropics, while other species are used as shade trees and often locally as medicine for several ailments (Kostermans, 1986).…”
