Edgeworthia tomentosa is a deciduous shrub (2.5 m tall) and is an oriental cousin of the daphne. It is native to forests and stream sides, at elevations of 300-1600 metres in Ichang Province, China.
The lime green leaves fall during autumn exposing the branches and the fine flaky bark which is used in China to make a high-grade paper. During late winter pale yellow, fragrant flowers are borne in clusters on the bare branches.
