Abstract
Three species of Lauraceae are described from Miocene sediments of the Manuherikia Group, Central Otago, New Zealand. One species is mummifi ed, with anatomical detail, and is placed into the organ-genus Lauroph yllum. It is regarded as the same taxon as Cryptocarya longfordiensis Holden, which is removed to Laurophyllum in the absence (for now) of a means to distinguish it from some other Lauraceae genera. The other t wo species are impressions only, and are regarded as Lauraceae on arch itectural detail.
