Since you have been studying Cinnamomum species I wonder if you can tell me if Bay Leaf (Tejpatta in Hindi) is the same as Cinnamomum tamala (called Vazhana in Kerala). I would also like to know if the leaf of the Cinnamon tree can be dried and used in place of Tejpatta. References: Cinnamomum mathewianum sp. nov.
