Lauraceae | Lindera | Spicebush, Benzoin | | | 
|
Lauraceae | Lindera angustifolia | Narrowleaf Spicebush, Oriental Spicebush, Graybush Spicebush | Moist suburban woodlands and forests, naturalizing from horticultural plantings. | Native of montane China and Korea. | |
Lauraceae | Lindera benzoin | Northern Spicebush, Benzoin, Benjamin-bush | Rich alluvial forests, mesic forests on slopes with circumneutral soils, bottomlands, swamps. | ME, s. ON, and MI, south to Panhandle FL and e. TX; disjunct in Edwards Plateau of c. TX. |

Lauraceae | Lindera melissifolia | Southern Spicebush, Pondberry | Pondcypress savannas, wet flats and depressions, in NC, SC, GA, FL, and AL generally with pocosin shrubs. | This species is southern in range, with a very scattered distribution in se. and c. NC, e. SC, e. & sw. GA, nw. FL, sw. AL (?), nw. MS, se. MO-AR, and se. AR-LA (recent collections unknown from FL and LA). It is nearly extirpated in NC, currently known only from three populations, in Sampson, Bladen, and Cumberland counties. A historic record from Orange County, NC (in the lower Piedmont), collected by Elisha Mitchell in 1820 and 1822, appears to be bonafide (McVaugh, McVaugh, & Ayers 1996). | 
|
Lauraceae | Lindera subcoriacea | Bog Spicebush | Peaty seepage bogs in headwaters of blackwater streams, in the sandhills and immediately adjacent Piedmont, with other pocosin shrubs, streamhead pocosins. | The overall range of this species is still poorly known; it appears to be a Southeastern Coastal Plain endemic, ranging from se. VA (perhaps s. NJ) south to FL and west to e. LA. Occurring in the Carolinas primarily in a scattering of small populations in the fall line Sandhills of NC and SC, with an outlier or two in "Piedmont pocosins" just west of the Sandhills. Reports in some areas (as VA) have been doubted as being authentic L. subcoriacea. | 
|
Lauraceae | Litsea | Pondspice | | | 
|
Lauraceae | Litsea aestivalis | Pondspice | Margins of limesink ponds and Carolina bays, less commonly in wet depressions and wet stringers dominated by shrubs. | A Southeastern Coastal Plain endemic: e. MD (Wicomico County) and se. VA (York and Isle of Wight counties) south to n. FL (and allegedly also in LA, based on an old and poorly labeled specimen). | 
|

|
Lauraceae | Tamala | Bay, Red-bay | | | 
|
Lauraceae | Tamala borbonia | Red Bay, Tisswood, Smooth Red Bay | Hammocks, dunes, maritime forests, in dry sandy soils on barrier islands. | E. NC (Carteret County) south to s. FL and west to s. TX; reports of the species north of NC are based on the inclusion of T. palustris in a broadly defined T. borbonia, or are simply in error, based on less hairy plants of T. palustris. This species is uncommon to rare north of FL and becoming rarer with the destruction of most maritime and near coastal upland forests for the construction of vacation homes and tourist accommodations. | 
|
Lauraceae | Tamala humilis | Silk Bay | Florida scrub. | N. FL peninsula (Levy, Alachua, Putnam, and Flagler counties) south to s. FL. |
