A new species and new combinations in Cryptocarya from Madagascar Author Werff, Henk Van Der text Adansonia 2008 3 30 1 41 46 journal article http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4601931 1639-4798 4601931 Cryptocarya ovalifolia (Danguy) Van der Werff, comb. nov. BASIONYM. — Ravensara ovalifolia Danguy , Bulletin du Muséum d’Histoire naturelle , Paris 26: 548 (1920). TYPUS . — Madagascar . Thouvenot 72 (holo-, P). REMARKS This species is similar to Cryptocarya crassifolia Baker , but differs in having leaves with fewer lateral veins (3 or 4 vs. 5 or 6), a slightly areolate (vs. smooth) upper leaf surface and a longer indument on the young twigs. Mostly because of the indument difference, I accept C. ovalifolia as a distinct species. The few collections I have seen all come from the Perinet-Andasibe region.
