We report the finding of Laureliopsis philippiana (Looser) Schodde (Atherospermataceae) in the coastal area of the Maule Region (35°29' S and 72°22'W) in central Chile. The new locality (San Pedro - Las Cañas) extends by some 240 km the northern limit of the species, which is associated mainly with the temperate rainforests further south.
