Caryodaphnopsis is a genus of 15 species belonging to the family Lauraceae of flowering plants. It is distributed in tropical areas in southern North America, northern South America, east and southeast Asia.
They are from tall trees to 50 m. high to small trees or shrubs in lowland evergreen forest,[1] and rainforest.
Caryodaphnopsis is a tropical genus amphi-Pacific distributed, which has a marked geographical disjunction between Southeast Asia (South China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines) and tropical America (Costa Rica[2] to Brazil, crossing Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela).
Taxonomic History
The genus was described by Herbert Kenneth Airy Shaw and published in Bulletin of Miscellaneous InformationKew 1940 (2): 75in 1940. The type species is Caryodaphnopsis tonkinensis (Lecomte) Airy Shaw.[3]
This genus, originally reported for Asia, was described by Airy Shaw in 1940, who created the genus name due to similarities between the leaves of this with the leaves of some species of Cryptocarya (=Caryodaphne). In the case of the species Caryodaphnopsis tonkinensis and Caryodaphnopsis baviensis were originally described by Lecomte in 1913, under the genus Notaphoebe, until 1940 when A. Shaw included them in Caryodaphnopsis, and ratified[clarification needed] them by Kostermans within this genus in 1964, after having gone through other genus.[clarification needed] Genera[clarification needed] were then added to the species Caryodaphnopsis latifolia and C. laotica by Wang and A. Shaw in 1957 and 1960 respectively. In 1952 the genus Caryodaphnopsis was placed under the genus Persea, along with genus Nothaphoebe and Alseodaphne due to the close relationship that exists between them. However, the differences found between genus were strong enough to be defined Caryodaphnopsis as a separate genus in 1974 by Kostermans. Kostermans included in his monograph of the genus seven species whose distribution range was from Yunnan to Borneo and the Philippines, in 1974. Until 1985 the genus was only reported for tropical Asia, but van der Werff and Richter, transferred two South American species of the genus Persea to Caryodaphnopsis because they differed from other species of the genus Persea in morphology (foliar and floral) and structure of wood.[4]
