Two New Species of Lauraceae from Ecuador and Peru

Abstract

Two new species of Lauraceae from Ecuador and Peru are described. Andea ferruginea van der Werff resembles A. kolera (van der Werff) van der Werff but differs in the color of the indumenta and the raised tertiary venation on the lower leaf surface. Ocotea pterocaulis van der Werff differs from all other species of Ocotea Aubl. by the combination of hermaphroditic flowers and winged stems.
