Actinodaphne lancifolia Actinodaphne genus of flowering plants in the laurel family (Lauraceae ). It contains approximately 125 species[ 1] dioecious evergreen trees and shrubs.[ 2]
Species range across tropical and subtropical regions of South Asia, Southeast Asia, southern China, Japan, New Guinea, Queensland, Solomon Islands, and Fiji.[ 1] [ 2]
Description
The trees are 3 to 25 m tall, with leaves usually clustered or nearly verticillate, rarely alternate or opposite, unlobed, pinninerved, and rarely triplinerved.
The flowers are star-shaped, small, and greenish. The flowers are clustered or whorled and are unisexual.[ 2]
Ecology
Actinodaphne species require continuously moist soil, and do not tolerate drought and frost.[citation needed
The laurel trees fall within the broad-leaved forests; mid-montane deciduous forests; and high-montane mixed stunted forests. Some species grow in high-elevation forests at 1,500–3,300 m (4,900–10,800 ft).
