| Summary: | THE OLDEST SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR THE CINNAMON TREE<br />Cinnamomum zeylanicum BL, 1826, has been currently considered to<br />be the proper name for the common cinnamon tree. This name was already<br />in use during the pre-Linnean period (cf. Kostermans, Bibliogr. Laur. 364.<br />1964).<br />The oldest valid name, however, is Cinnamomum verum J.S. Presl,<br />1825, This is not a pharmaceutical name, as is evident from the references<br />cited by Presl and by the treatment of other species. For complete refe-<br />rences cf. Kostermans, Bibl. Laur. 360, 1964. |
