| | Persea americana (Lauraceae) |
 | | The flowers in the family Lauraceae are small, inconspicuous, greenish to cream colored, and radially symmetrical. | | | The stamens arise from the traces of the tepal bundles, and the staminal glands are derived from their respective stamen bundle. | | | At the same time, Persea americana is ealily available because of its importance as crop plant. |

| | Laurales |
| | The flowers are small, trimerous, and have valvate anthers; the fruit has a single, large seed that lacks endosperm and the pedicel - and sometimes also tepals and hypanthium - is often ± swollen and conspicuous. | | | MAGNOLIALES + LAURALES: cuticle waxes as annularly-ridged rodlets, palmitol the main wax; A spiral. | | | Monimiaceae + Hernandiaceae + Lauraceae: (plants Al accumulators); (cork outer cortical); A whorled, microsporogenesis successive, columellae foot layer and endexine 0, ovule apical, (micropyle bistomal). |

| | IngentaConnect Embryology and Relationships of Lauraceae (Laurales) |
| | Based on comparisons with other families of Laurales, Lauraceae consistently had a pachychalazal ovule or seed with a ramified raphal vascular bundle at chalaza (an apomorphy) in common with Hernandiaceae. | | | Embryology of Lauraceae, hitherto poorly known, was investigated on the basis of 35 species from 23 genera to contribute to a better understanding of familial and generic relationships. | | | However, since several core lauralean families such as Amborellaceae, Monimiaceae, and Gomortegaceae are little known embryologically, these must be studied for critical comparison. |

| | Our Sassafras albidum is one of only three surviving species of the subdivision of Lauraceae known as the genus “Sassafras”. | | | (Sassafras albidum’s) famous Lauraceae cousins include the cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) of India and Sri Lanka, the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) of China and Japan, the avocado (Persea americana) which hails from Southern Mexico, and sweet bay (Laurus nobilis), the popular seasoning leaf which is also the laurel that crowned old-time Greek and Roman heroes. | | | Origin of Sassafras Albidum and Kin: Some 80 or so million years ago, when a good part of the earth was warm and moist, the Lauraceae (Laurel) family was going great guns. |

| | Although very small, the flowers are typical for the family, including the anthers that open by flaps. | | | The Lauraceae are nearly all woody trees and shrubs comprising 30 to 50 genera and about 2,000 species. | | | Unlike other Magnoliidae, the endosperm is completely absorbed by the embryo in Lauraceae. |

| | The perianth of Lauraceae typically consists of two whorls of morphologically indistinguishable tepals. | | | AG-like gene expression contributes to normal perianth development in Persea and perhaps other Lauraceae; and 3. | | | Size, texture, vestiture, and color vary appreciably among family members, but tepal morphology is usually highly similar in both whorls. |

| | Don’t miss the proteas, the salvias, the Japanese maples, the gentians, the vireya rhododendrons, the pitcher plants and the early sasanqua camellias. | | | Widespread and common in the warm, moist late Cretaceous to mid Tertiary periods the plant family Lauraceae has many ‘primitive’ characteristics and is closely related to the family Monimiacae [Atherospermataceae] to which the aromatic, native Sassafras, Doryphora sassafras and the Black or Southern Sassafras, Atherosperma moschatum belong. | | | The Choctaw Indians of Louisiana used a powder prepared from the leaves to flavour gumbo soup and the distilled oil is employed as a perfume. |
