Lauraceae Juss.
Laurus australis A.Cunn. ex Hook. , legitimate, scientific
Hooker, W.J. in Hooker, W.J. (ed.) (1842), On a new Laurus (subgen. Oreodaphne?) from Southern Africa. The Journal of Botany 4: 436 [errata]. BHL [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "It is a native of Moreton Bay; Australia"
taxonomic synonym: Laurus bowiei Hook. legitimate
  • Text: "It is by mistake that I had understood the Laurus figured at Tab. xxiii, and described at page 418 [sic] of this volume, was a native of Southern Africa. It is a native of Moreton Bay, Australia; and, as it bears the manuscript name of L. australis, A.. Cunningham, by whom it was discovered and sent to Kew, that is the name it must continue to have."
  • Comment: If the Errata was published at the same time as the text, then this name is legitimately published and Laurus bowiei is invalid, not being accepted by the author at the time of publication. Combination also made by Hooker in Curtis's Bot. Mag. 68 (1942) subt. 3931. https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/433666
