message: There should be a full section for the use of noble laurel in mythology and be less confusing as to what is roman and what is greek.

message: This could have just as easily been titled Sweet bay, as far as Google hits are concerned.  True laurel has an order of magnitude fewer hits.  The terms "bay" and "laurel" have been applied to so many different plants that the whole situation is a mess.  WormRunner 02:40, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: That name also refers to Magnolia virginiana which makes things more of a mess. Kortoso  (talk) 16:40, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Also theres the California Laurel 

message: I've just removed this:
In the Bible, the laurel is often an emblem of prosperity and fame. In Christian tradition, it symbolizes the resurrection of Christ.
In Italy, graduating college students wear crowns of laurel instead of the normal graduation hat.
It can be restored if reliably sourced. I found that students at the SAIS Center at the U. of Bologna started wearing laurel leaves in 2004, but I couldn't find it's a standard practice across Italy or even in Bologna.  YoPienso (talk) 01:09, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The California Bay Laurel is proven to be a bug repellent; I wonder if that's the origin of its usage. ;) Kortoso  (talk) 16:41, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

message: The section on the eat Asia mythology seems to hold little relevance to Laurus nobilis. There should be information about the flowering and reproduction of Laurus nobilis   Kingjohnthefirst1 (talk) 03:35, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  The section seems entirely appropriate. By all means add more detail about flowering and reproduction if you have reliable sources, though the basics are already described. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:36, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

message: "The plant is the source of several popular herbs" - is this supported by the source (Vaughan)? Can somebody check? It doesn't pass the smell test. Kortoso  (talk) 16:27, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
