"A. bambusarum from Tse-Kiang in China, is somewhat larger than Anthocharis cardamines the whole forewing above and beneath is uniformly dull orange-red; the apex of forewing less broadly dark and not black, but greenish, the black discocellular spot less distinct than in cardamines, the hindwing very similar to that of cardamines above and beneath." "extensa form. nov. [Röber] [now considered a synonym of Anthocharis bambusarum] , from China (Nangking), leads over to the next form [ speciosa ], being a transitional link; almost the whole forewing orange-red, hardlv one-fourth of the wing being light yellow, the orange deeper than in the other forms, but not so dark as in [most] bambusarum.

Anthocharis is a Holarctic genus of the butterfly tribe Anthocharini, in the family Pieridae. These are typically small, white-hued butterflies that have colorful marks just inside the tips of the forewings. The tip colors are usually a red-orange hue, hence the name "orange tip". The larvae of these butterfly often consume cruciferous plants containing chemicals called glucosinolates. This genus is characterized by two of the five subcostal veins branching off before the apex of the cell, by the upper radial being only little united with the subcostal, and by the central discocellular being rather long. In all the species the males have at least the apical portion of the forewing orange red or yellow. Only one species inhabits also the northern districts of the Palearctic region, all the others are found in the south of the Palearctic region, also some species occur in North America, but not one species extends into the tropics. The Anthocharis species have only one brood. The butterflies occur in spring.
