Laurel tree FOR ID / VALIDATION :: Vythiri, Wayanad :: 15 NOV 19 : 15 posts by 7 authors. 6 images. Dear friends,
This tree growing in premises of resort, most probably planted, I guess is some member of Lauraceae, and I may be totally wrong. I hope the photos help in recognizing the plant; hoping I get to know the genus. Its a species of Actinodaphne, could be A. angustifolia. It must have been present originally and not planted. Yes .
Thank you very much … for the genus, and possible ID. Actinodaphne angustifolia Nomenclature of Actinodaphne angustifolia seems quite confusing as per earlier discussions at identification of Actinodaphne angustifolia
On further searching in India Litrature online, I think there are two different plants found in South India as below:
1. Actinodaphne hookeri Meisn. (syn: Actinodaphne angustifolia Hook.f. & Thomson ex Meisn.) as per images and details herein and as per Flora of Peninsular India, both of which look different from your posted plant.
2. Your plant seems to be Actinodaphne angustifolia (Bl.) Nees. as already identified and seems to match as per Flora of Peninsular India, Biotik and GBIF I hope I am correct in my analysis. If there is any mistake, pl. point it out. Yes …, thanks very much for the analysis.
I too have labelled my photos in flickr with the latter … Actinodaphne angustifolia (Bl.) Nees All websites are showing incorrect nomenclature. Simple matters have been unnecessarily complicated by some authors. With regard to A. angustifolia, I am adopting the following nomenclature as the correct interpretation. However, I am only halfway through my work on the Indian Actinodaphne. = Litsea angustifolia Blume (1826: 566). – [not Litsea angustifolia Hook. f. (Hooker 1886: 169), nom. illeg. = Litsea saligna (Nees) N. P. Balakr. (Balakrishnan 1967: 329) = Tetranthera saligna Nees (1831: 67)]
= Tetranthera angustifolia (Blume) Nees (1831: 65).
= Laurus gullavara Buch.-Ham. ex Nees (1831: 65), nom. inval.
= Actinodaphne gullavara (Buch.-Ham. ex Nees) M.R.Almeida (2003: 51), nom. illeg. et superfl.
= Actinodaphne heterophylla Blume (1851: 342).
I am attaching herewith three open access papers on Actinodaphne concerning peninsular India for further information.
Attachments (3) – Actinodaphne bourneae.pdf, LectotypificationActinodaphe.pdf & Typification-Actinodaphne.pdf yes. thanks … looking forward to your clarification and correct story and classification     SCHEFFLERA TREE MAYBE. ID…..8th NOV 2011……..S.S…. 063:
Date…..17th April 2011. Morning. Location… the plains near JALDAPARA. WEST BENGAL.Habitat- Wild… in the native forest. Plant Habit…..Tree Height…. TallLeaves Type/ Shape/ Size-…..See pics. Inflorescence Type/ Size……Sorry none. It may be a species of Actinodaphne (Lauraceae). Of course, a species of Actinodaphne I loved the way the new leaves hung down. Actinodaphne for sure from me too Actinodaphne obovata only. May I request you to pl. have a relook as images at Actinodaphne obovata (Nees) Bl. look different. Any chance for Neolitsea cuipala (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Kosterm. ? May be so. However, it it better not to arrive at definite conclusion on the basis of a sterile material like this! https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a—l/l/lauraceae/actinodaphne/actinodaphne-species-1/jaldapara
For the above link this should be Actinodaphne angustifolia (Blume) Nees Leaves penninerved, branchlets rusty-tomentose, leaves not impressed-reticulate, with 5-10 pairs of lateral veins. I agree … but flowering or fruiting twigs are required for confirmation.
