Neolitsea sericea is a species of tree in the family Lauraceae. It is found in southeastern China (Zhejiang), Taiwan (Orchid Island, Green Island), south Korea, Japan, and the Ryukyu Islands.[3][4] Its natural habitat is on forest margins and slopes,[5] and it is often found in well-progressed secondary forests.[6]

It is a medium-size tree, growing up to 10 m (33 ft) tall. Its leaves are evergreen, and distinctly whitened on the back. It produces yellow flowers in the fall, and its fruit is a red berry.[7] It is hardy WHZ 8.

Neolitsea sericea contains two varieties, Neolitsea sericea var. sericea and Neolitsea sericea var. aurata.[3] The latter may also be considered as its own species, Neolitsea aurata.[5]
