Pseudotaxus chienii - Like other yews, it is a small coniferous shrub or small tree, reaching 2-5 m tall with reddish bark. The leaves are lanceolate, flat, 1-2.6 cm long and 2-3 mm broad, dark green above, with two white stomatal bands below; they are arranged spirally on the stem, but with the leaf bases twisted to align the leaves in two flat rows either side of the stem. The conspicuous white stomatal bands on the harder, stiffer leaves readily distinguish it from the yews in the genus Taxus.
