Emmenopterys henryi is a large deciduous tree belonging to the genus Emmenopterys in the Rubiaceae family. It is an ancient relict plant and a rare tree species of a monotypic genus endemic to China. The British botanist E. H. Wilson praised Emmenopterys henryi as "the most beautiful and charming tree in the forests of China" in his "Flora of West China". China has listed it as a national second-class key protected plant.
Its wood has straight grain, fine texture, is light and soft, and does not warp or crack, so it can be used as a material for construction and furniture. The bark fiber is a raw material for making wax paper and artificial cotton. With an elegant tree shape, lush leaves and abundant flowers, its flowers are large and beautiful in color, and its fruits are fragrant. It is an excellent tree species for garden greening.
