03FC87DAFFE5FFF8D0B1FCEDFD73FC12.taxon	conservation	CONSERVATION ASSESSMENT. — Endangered (EN B 1 ab (i, iii), B 2 ab (ii, iii )). This species is only definitely known from a small number of collections from a few localities in the Kon-Tum and Gia Lai Provinces of Vietnam. An analysis of the Extent of Occurrence (EOO) and Area of Occupancy (AOO) gives an IUCN Conservation Assessment of Endangered. Given that it is only known from three populations and has small area of occupancy as well as the intensive logging and landscape modification that has occurred in the region during the last 50 years, this species must be considered endangered.	en	De Kok, Rogier P.

03FC87DAFFE3FFF8D20BFBEFFBE9FBB2.taxon	discussion	NOTES No evidence that this name was ever validly published could be found and so it is validated here. Although it is generally not a good idea, especially in the Lauraceae, to published new species based on incomplete material (in this case lacking fruits and with only immature flowers), this species is clearly a Cinnamomum based on the immature flowers (number of perianth lobes and stamens) and the orientation (subopposite) and venation (triplinerved) of the leaves. Within the genus it is unique because of the reddish appressed hairs on the lower leaf surface.	en	De Kok, Rogier P. J.

03FC87DAFFFFFFE4D220FC0FFD46F910.taxon	discussion	REMARKS This species was first described as Laurus cinnamomum by Loureiro in his Flora Cochinchinensis (de Loureiro 1790). As Linnaeus had already published a species with this name, it was renamed by Nees von Esenbeck (1836) as Cinnamomum loureiroi Nees. No Loureiro specimens could be found at the BM and P and Merrill does not mention any in his commentary on the work (Merrill 1935). Therefore, a neotype needs to be selected. The P specimen of Poilane 21854 which fits well with the original description and has many mature infructescences and fruits (for species identification in this genus), and is therefore selected here as the neotype.	en	De Kok, Rogier P.
