Resumo

With the aim of recognizing and identifying both fertile and sterile specimens of Lauraceae from the Brazilian state of Bahia, we analyzed the leaf venation pattern of 56 species belonging to 14 genera (excluding Ocotea), 30 of them described and illustrated for the first time. A dichotomous identification key was built from a matrix of 12 venation characters and 36 states, which allowed to distinguish the taxa.
