Litsea citriodora
is a 3-5m tall, small deciduous tree or shrub found in forest edges;
young branches are dark green and fragrant, and leaves are aromatic.
The leaves are alternate, 7-15cm long, 2-4.5cm wide, broadly
lanceolate, with sharp tips, and their back surfaces tingeing
powdery white. The margins are entire, and the petioles are 1-2.5cm
long. The leaves turn yellow in autumn. Dioecious: Flowers bloom in
umbels before the leaves develop, while in buds, the inflorescences,
with curved 0.7-1.3cm long peduncles, look spherical because the
buds cover themselves with involucres. The flowers are small and
white; the corollas are cleft into six. Bloom time: March-April.
