Opposite leaves occur also in a few species of Beilschmiedia and Ocotea; see the discussion under those genera.

Species previously placed in Cryptocarya with a similar receptacle, but with 3 or 6 stamens and opposite leaves are now recognized as Aspidostemon. The genus Ravensara, formerly treated as endemic to Madagascar, and differing from Cryptocarya only in one fruit character: the presence of septa growing from the receptacle wall in to the fruits and making the fruits appear 6-lobed. Because this character also appeared sparingly in Cryptocarya species outside Madagascar, Ravensara and Cryptocarya are now considered synonyms (VAN DER WERFF, 1992) and Cryptocarya, although nomenclaturally younger, is conserved over Ravensara (VAN DER WERFF, 1992; BRUMMIT, 1994). Several species of Cryptocarya have a dense indument consisting of erect, curly hairs entirely covering the lower leaf surface and young twigs. The color of this pubescence varies from brown, reddish brown or dark brown and it wears off on older leaves and twigs. This pubescence seems to be restricted to Cryptocarya in Madagascar. Most species of Lauraceae in Madagascar have elliptic leaves, but among Cryptocarya species oblong leaves are not uncommon. Cryptocarya is in need of a complete taxonomic revision.</p> <p>Since Ravensara was sunk in synonymy of Cryptocarya, several Ravensara species have been transferred to Cryptocarya (VAN DER WERFF, 2008, 2013a). Eight species recognized by Kostermans are still in need of a name in Cryptocarya and the necessary nomenclatural changes (five new combinations and three new names) are presented below. A lectotype is designated for Ravensara affinis Kosterm.

It is the only genus which has flowers with quadrilocular stamens and fruits seated in a cupule. Some of its species have domatia, tufts of hairs or pits in the axils of some of the secondary veins. Domatia do not occur in species of the other genera in Madagascar and sterile specimens with domatia can be assigned with confidence to Ocotea. Most species have alternate leaves, but a few have opposite or subopposite leaves.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE2C6510FFB8145777D4FA7491031242	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Both genera have fruits seated on the pedicel with remnants of the tepals at the base, four in Potameia and six in Beilschmiedia. One species of Beilschmiedia (B. pedicellata van der Werff) may have dimerous flowers, but differs from Potameia in its opposite leaves (all species of Potameia have alternate leaves). Most species of Potameia have flowers with six bilocular stamens. In a few species the adjacent locelli become fused so the stamens are unilocular. The number of stamens can also be reduced; the extreme is P. micrantha van der Werff, a species with flowers with two stamens, each unilocular. Most herbarium specimens of Potameia have a light colored, grey bark. While such a bark color may also occur outside Potameia, its presence strongly suggests Potameia. Several Asian species, mostly from southern China, have been placed in Potameia but are now considered to belong to Syndiclis Hook. f.. The single Indian species placed in Potameia, P. tirunelvelica (Manickam, Murugan, Jothi &amp; Sundaresan) M. Gangop., was originally placed in Beilschmiedia; the description stated that it has opposite leaves and dimerous flowers. Because the combination of opposite leaves and dimerous flowers also occurs in a Beilschmiedia and not in Potameia, I consider the Indian species as a Beilschmiedia and Potameia as a genus endemic to Madagascar. Potameia is in need of taxonomic revision.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE2C6510FFB814577464FDD4905A1757	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
