JKP, also think it's probably something laurel-like, though perhaps not true laurel. The main argument against that is the serrate leaf edges. Laurel leaves can have a bit of a waviness to their edge that makes them appear serrate, but that feels like a stretch.

It seems likely to me that it may be something that was used *like* laurel and may have been called "... laurel" locally.
An argument in favor is that bay leaves (any aromatic leaf used for cooking) often turn brownish when dried, which is how they are often sold.
