Following a recent revision of the Ocotea indecora (Schott) Meisn. ex Mez group (Lauraceae), some taxonomic and nomenclatural changes have been made. We present here the resulting synonyms, together with typifications, and one new combination. Seven new synonyms are proposed. The following seven names are lectotypified: Mespilodaphne indecora (Schott) Meisn. var. cannella Meisn., M. indecora var. intermedia Meisn., M. indecora var. laxa Meisn., M. indecora var. stricta Meisn., O. complicata (Meisn.) Mez, O. elegans Mez, and O. fasciculata (Nees) Mez. Mespilodaphne leucophloea Nees & Mart. is transferred as O. leucophloea (Nees & Mart.) L. C. S. Assis & Mello-Silva.
