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.

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.<ref>{{cite journal|title=''Caryodaphnopsis'' Airy-Shaw (Lauraceae), a Genus New to the Neotropics|author=Henk van der Werff and H.

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).

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.[3]
