NOTES. — Excluded synonyms: Aydendron salicifolium (Sw.) Nees [syn. nov. of Licaria parvifolia (Lam.) Kosterm. ] and its basionym Laurus salicifolia Sw. Kubitzki (1982: 45) placed “ Aydendron salicifolium Nees ” and “ Aniba salicifolia (Nees) Mez ” in synonymy under Aniba guianensis Aubl. Actually , although Nees misinterpreted L. salicifolia (synonym of Licaria parvifolia , a Caribbean taxon), and based his description of Aydendron salicifolium on a French Guianan collection of Aniba guianensis (L.C. Richard s.n. [B-W, B-W07804-000; LE[LE00012694; P[P02004886], see also notes under Aiouea guianensis ), he explicitely referred to L. salicifolia and to its type. Therefore, he effectively transferred L. salicifolia into Aydendron . Later, when transferring Aydendron salicifolium into Aniba, Mez (1889: 71) excluded L. salicifolia from synonymy. He thereby created a new name for the Guianan species.
