REMARKS

It is not entirely clear that Parmentier intended to name this variety aromatica.The only occurence is on p. 226 where the description begins as follows: “La seconde variété (2) ou var. β aromatica, est caractérisée par”.Additional confusion arises because this could be construed as a reduction of Drimys aromatica (DC.) F. Muell. to a variety of Parmentier’s D. xerophila. However, as Parmentier recognises D. aromatica and D. xerophila as distinct species in the Histoire des Magnoliacées, such a reduction does not appear to be what Parmentier intended.
