*Camphora Fabricius. Common name: Camphor.
A genus of about 20 species, trees and shrubs, of e. and se. Asia. Huang et al. (2016) showed our introduced species "Cinnamomum camphora" in a basal clade to the rest of Cinnamomum, morphologically and biogeographically distinctive, warranting its re-separation as genus Camphora Fabricius. This finding has been elaborated and confirmed by Yang et al. (2022b), who made necessary new combinations for species of Camphora.
