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[4][5] that pollinate the very small bisexual[6] [7]flowers,[8] [9][10]in inflorescences glomerules, They are condensed inflorescence with poorly defined branching,[8][11] while birds disperse the seeds by avidly eat the fruit berries. The berries are ellipsoid, globose or pear shape; The trees flower in rainy season and the fruits ripen 6 months later. Some species propagate vegetatively too.[12]

N. mekongense is a species that grows in the mountains north of Dali, China. It is popular with butterflies, which possibly are attracted by secretions from extrafloral nectaries.[13]
