Ocotea odorifera is a species of plant in the family Lauraceae.[1] It is an evergreen tree in the genus Ocotea.

It is commonly known as Brazilian sassafras or American cinnamon; though it is not a true sassafras nor a true cinnamon, these plants are close relatives. In trade, the junior synonym Ocotea pretiosa is often used, and there is considerable confusion between the present taxon and Ocotea cymbarum.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
