Sycopsis is a genus of plants in the family Hamamelidaceae native to southern central China [1] [2] [3] and Taiwan. [2]
Sycopsis are evergreen [1] [3] or semi-evergreen [3] shrubs or small trees. Their leaves are leathery and their flowers have no petals. [1] [3]
The genus Sycopsis contains two species: Sycopsis sinensis and Sycopsis triplinerva . [1] [2]
Sycopsis is derived from Greek and means ‘fig-resembler’ because the person who named the genus, Daniel Oliver, thought its appearance resembled a shrubby Ficus . [4]
The Chinese vernacular name for this genus is 水丝梨属 (Shuǐ sī lí shǔ). [1]
