REMARKS
Cryptocarya agathophylla can be recognized by its sparsely appressed pubescent flowers and its glaucous leaves; most species of Cryptocarya from Madagascar have densely puberulous flowers. Its fruits and leaves are used as spice. It is the type species of Ravensara and its fragrant leaves are reflected in the generic name ( Ravensara means “good leaf”, as does the epithet agathophylla).
