Nyssa leptophylla was unknown to the authors of the Flora of China account (Qin & Chamlong 2007) except through the original description, and so it is surprising to find trees under this name in cultivation, but, from seed from the Qingpu Paradise Horticultural Co. Ltd in Shanghai, Tom Hudson at Tregrehan has raised a number of seedlings (Qingpu 98149) that resemble N. sinensis and also colour well. It seems wise not to attempt an identification until these trees have flowered, however, when a choice can be made from among the seven species described in Flora of China.
