  1. LAURACEAE Sassafras

  2. magnoliids monocots Current Angiosperm Phylogeny Group Tree for Flowering Plants 2010

  3. LAURACEAE current history of the order Laurales - APG website

  4. folded carpel portion ascidiate base stamens Lauraceae - flower development

  5. Ocotea lancifolia, Photo of W. Thomas 10597.

  6. A cabinet of ethereal oils from the Lauraceae Cinnamaldehyde, from Cinnamomum (cinnamon) Safrole from Sassafras Linalool from Aniba (Brazilian rosewood) Cineole from Laurus nobilis

  7. essential (ethereal) oils: more or less volatile and often aromatic substances made up of various kinds ofterpenes Terpenes (terpenoids): usually hydrophilic compounds consisting of an isoprenoid skeleton, subdivided according to number of carbon atoms 10 = mono 15 = sesqui 20 = di Isoprene (isoprenoid): a volatile unsaturated branched chain five-carbon hydrocarbon that is the basic unit of terpenes Isoprene, C5 H8.

  8. monoterpenoids: with a base of C10 H16, they occur in essential oils and are made up of one or two isoprene rings or an open chain of isoprene units; They are colorless, water-insoluble, volatile, with fragrant odor. All of these are also found in the Lauraceae

  9. madrean- neotropical boreotropical austral Beilschmiedia etc. Gondwana genera Laurus - bayleaf Lindera - spicebush Cinnamomum Persea - avocado Sassafras Ocotea DNA: 17-20 ybp worldwide

  10. Persea americana - the avocado i - morning phase j - afternoon phase

  11. Persea borbonia - red bay

  12. Beilschmiedia and the resplendant quetzal

  13. Ocotea-Nectandra

  14. Key Characters: Magnoliid syndrome Green twigs, ascending secondaries, leaves clustered Tiny flowers with 2–3 stamen whorls and flap dehiscence Fruits with cupules

Phytochemistry, 11: 1537- 1570. The various chemical constituents of the Lauraceae are discussed in relation to the taxonomy of the family. Although there is a great paucity of data, the variation in the arylpropanoids, alkaloids, flavanoids and terpene constituents is in general in agreement with the subdivision of the family put forward by Kostermans.
