摘要： 油果樟属是J．D．Hooker根据Booth采自不丹的一份樟科植物标本于1886年建立起来的。该属建立时是一单型属，其特征是：花被裂片4，全然脱落，形状为横向长圆形，排成2轮，内轮2片较小；能育雄蕊4，与花被裂片对生且等长，宽卵圆形，厚而被毛，具腺点，1室，以单瓣开裂；退化雄蕊4，细小，披针形，被毛；子房无毛，向上渐狭。A．J．Kostermans于1939年（in Not．Syst．8：73）对本属的建立提出异议，他认为本属与马尔加什的Potamcia Thou．一属有密切的亲缘关系，作为本属特征的花药1室是由于2药室融合的结果，因而认为以花药1室而支持这一属建立的理由并不充分，在1957年（in Comm．For．Res．lust．Indon．Nr．57）正式把这一属归入Potameia Thou．属中。
