Dear friends, My query stems from findings about synonymy of *Neolitsea cassia* - while intending to gather its common names in regional languages of India.
My findings: At The Plants List <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-50148283>(2010). Version 1 - *Neolitsea cassia* (L.) Kosterm. ... no synonyms recorded At NPGS / GRIN <http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?413303>- *Neolitsea cassia* (L.) Kosterm. ... synonyms: *Laurus cassia* L. (*basionym *) • *Litsea zeylanica* Nees & T. Nees • *Neolitsea zeylanica* (Nees & T. Nees) Merr. *Neolitsea cassia* seems to be comparatively less discussed on internet in context of common names; and hardly in online dictionaries. BUT *Laurus cassia* has several entries in online dictionaries of South Asia, especially in Sanskrit. The confusion: *Would like to know which of the following is true:* 1) *Laurus cassia* L. is basionym of *Neolitsea cassia* (L.) Kosterm. 2) *Laurus cassia* L. is synonym of *Cinnamomum cassia* (Nees & T.Nees) J.Presl OR please help me with any other clarification. Regards. Dinesh --
