distinguish it from other species (at least locally), but this feature is not as good as the 
combination of sunken primary domatia, glabrous hypanthium inside, and tepals falling off as a 
unit early in fruit development. This species is included in Cinnamomum despite the lack of 
persistent tepals, for its floral and leaf morphology strongly suggest the affinity with the rest of 
species studied here, as commented for C. alainii too.
