It is perhaps significant that, in the warm-temperate zone, the Lauraceae are among the dominants in most natural warm-temperate rainforests, but (apart from Chile; Oberdorfer 1960) are absent from most mediterranean-climate vegetation or are confined to sites with a reliable groundwater supply (e.g., Laurus nobilis and
Umbellularia californica; Walter 1968).
