    Ocotea quixos, American cinnamon
    (Elservier, 1981-09) Naranjo Vargas, Plutarco; Giesbrecht, Astréa M.; Gottlieb, Otto R.; Kijjoa, Anake
    Among the three South American Lauraceae with cinnamon odours, Ocotea quixos Lam. is distinguished with the richest historical legacy. Cinnamaldehyde, its odoriferous principle, occurs besides o-methoxycinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid and methyl cinnamate in the fruit calyx. In contradistinction, 1-nitro-2-phenylethane is responsible for the cinnamon odour of bark and leaves of Aniba canelilla (H.B.K.) Mez and Ocotea pretiosa (Nees) Mez.
