| Fagus chienii | |
Fagus chienii is a species of beech tree native to northern Sichuan in China. [1] It was first formally named by Chinese botanist Wan Chun Cheng in 1935. [2]
Flora of China notes that the taxonomic status of Fagus chienii is uncertain, as it is only known from the place it was collected ( type locality), and is similar to Fagus lucida. The two species are distinguished by the "longer, recurved cupule bracts" in F. chienii. [3]
