Neocinnamomum (新樟属, xin zhang shu) is a genus of evergreen shrubs or small trees, indigenous to Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia (Sumatra), Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam.[1][2]

They inhabit coastal to montane tropical forests, and laurel forests. These trees and shrubs are characteristic of the lower strata of the tropical rainforest but some species are at 20 m tall. They require a warm and wet climate with no extremes of heat and cold.[citation needed] These types of woody plants live in the laurel forests of the mountains[3] Although there can be months in which there is less rain, no prolonged dry season should occur and rain received on about 150 days per year.[citation needed] Present from rocky and stony ground to waterlogged and marshy areas.[citation needed]

The pollination is by insects[citation needed] that pollinate the very small bisexual[citation needed] flowers,[4] in inflorescences glomerules, They are condensed inflorescence with poorly defined branching,Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).[5]

The tree Neocinnamomum mekongense is a species that grows in the Butterfly Spring in the mountains north of Dali, China. Masses of butterflies congregate on its branches in the springtime making it a popular tourist destination.[citation needed] The butterfies are thought to feed off secretions made by the tree (possibly extrafloral nectaries).[citation needed]
