Cinnamomum capparu-coronde

Cinnamomum capparu-coronde is a species of flowering plant in the family Lauraceae.[2] It is found only in 8 to 10 localities in southwestern Sri Lanka, and is assessed as Vulnerable, as it is being encroached upon by human agricultural activities.[1] A tree, it is typically found in the seasonally dry tropics at elevations from 400 to 1,400 m (1,300 to 4,600 ft).[1][2] It is a crop wild relative of Cinnamomum verum, true cinnamon.[3]
