	Lauraceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lauraceae or Laurel family comprises a group of flowering plants included in the order Laurales.
		The family contains about 40 genera and over 2000 (perhaps as many as 4000) species world-wide, mostly from warm or tropical regions, especially Southeast Asia and Brazil.
		Lauraceae (Ordo 162) in A. de Candolle (ed.), Prodromus Systematis Universalis Regni Vegetabilis 15(1): 1-260, Parisiis [Paris], Victoris Masson et Filii.

	Caroline Kathryn Allen Records
		She served The New York Botanical Garden as an honorary Collaborator in Lauraceae from 1951 to 1959 and as a Research Associate from 1959 to 1974.
		By 1951 she had a formal title-Collaborator in Lauracea-and a contract which carried no stipend but was renewed every three years until 1959.
		Lauraceae contains communication with the international community regarding loans, determinations of species, and requests for her comments and collaboration on various projects.

	Flowering Plant Families, UH Botany
		The Lauraceae are nearly all woody trees and shrubs comprising 30 to 50 genera and about 2,000 species.
		The fruit is a berry or a drupe, often surrounded basally by the short, persistent perianth cup.
		Although very small, the flowers are typical for the family, including the anthers that open by flaps.

		The inflorescences in the family Lauraceae are usually determinate, arising from axillary meristems
		Reproductive biology: Flowers of Persea (and a few other genera of Lauraceae) can be protogynous, meaning the stigma is receptive before the pollen is shed, and protandrous, meaning the pollen is shed before the stigma is receptive, in the same individual.

		This is the first report of a Metaphycus wasp attacking a gall-inducing psyllid and the first record of a Coccoidea gall on Lauraceae.
		No parasitoids were found in these galls, but approximately 30% were vacant and the size of these galls (56.8 ± 4.2 mm2) would suggest that something (i.e., death or parasitism/predation) happened to the gall mothers before they began to deposit their offspring.
		Gall-inducing coccids have not been reported from Lauraceae previously, although recently a similar coccid gall was found by one of us (P. Hanson, unpubl.

	Laurales
		However, relationships between Monimiaceae, Lauraceae and Hernandiaceae are difficult to work out, this being one of the few cases where there seems to be persistent disagreement between morphology and molecules (Renner and Chanderbali 2000).
		The flowers are small, trimerous, and have valvate anthers; the fruit has a single, large seed that lacks endosperm and the pedicel - and sometimes also tepals and hypanthium - is often ± swollen and conspicuous.
		Some Lauraceae have a growth pattern similar to that of Myristicaceae, with whorled branches and periodic growth, but the leaves on the branches of Lauraceae are usually spiral, rarely opposite, while in Myristicaceae (and Annonaceae) the leaves are distichous.

	Sassafras Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees. LAURACEAE
		The Choctaw Indians of Louisiana used a powder prepared from the leaves to flavour gumbo soup and the distilled oil is employed as a perfume.
		Widespread and common in the warm, moist late Cretaceous to mid Tertiary periods the plant family Lauraceae has many ‘primitive’ characteristics and is closely related to the family Monimiacae [Atherospermataceae] to which the aromatic, native Sassafras, Doryphora sassafras and the Black or Southern Sassafras, Atherosperma moschatum belong.
		Don’t miss the proteas, the salvias, the Japanese maples, the gentians, the vireya rhododendrons, the pitcher plants and the early sasanqua camellias.

		Embryology of Lauraceae, hitherto poorly known, was investigated on the basis of 35 species from 23 genera to contribute to a better understanding of familial and generic relationships.
		Data from the genera investigated and from the literature show that the genera of Lauraceae are very similar embryologically, but that differences do exist in a few characters among the genera.
		Based on comparisons with other families of Laurales, Lauraceae consistently had a pachychalazal ovule or seed with a ramified raphal vascular bundle at chalaza (an apomorphy) in common with Hernandiaceae.

		90 MYBP, Upper Cretaceous) of New Jersey is described as a new genus in the family Lauraceae.
		This fossil specimen is particularly remarkable in that several pollen grains have been preserved; pollen grains of Lauraceae generally have very thin exine and are rarely preserved in the fossil record.
		Although the specimen is incomplete and lacks anthers, there are sufficient structural details preserved to permit an assignment to the Lauraceae, as well as comparisons with the tribe Perseeae.

	PAG-XIII (P735) Agamous-Like Genes Suggest Staminal Origin For The Perianth Of Lauraceae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The perianth of Lauraceae typically consists of two whorls of morphologically indistinguishable tepals.
		Size, texture, vestiture, and color vary appreciably among family members, but tepal morphology is usually highly similar in both whorls.
		A role for AG-like genes in shaping perianth morphology is indicated by the coincident shift to a bipartite perianth with loss of AG-like expression in Persea borbonia; 2.

		Our Sassafras albidum is one of only three surviving species of the subdivision of Lauraceae known as the genus “Sassafras”.
		(Sassafras albidum’s) famous Lauraceae cousins include the cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) of India and Sri Lanka, the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) of China and Japan, the avocado (Persea americana) which hails from Southern Mexico, and sweet bay (Laurus nobilis), the popular seasoning leaf which is also the laurel that crowned old-time Greek and Roman heroes.
		In North America, the Lauraceae family includes the west coast’s California bay (Umbellularia californica), the southeast’s red bay (Persea borbonia), and the northeast’s spicebush (Lindera benzoin), a wonderful hardy understory shrub; the bark of which is sometimes used as a substitute for the Caribbean’s allspice (Pimenta dioica)(Myrtle family).
