description
The red grape sparrow is a shrub up to 2 meters high with red-brown, angular and bare shoots. The buds are long-egg-shaped, purple-red with a blunt or pointed end, and four to five bud scales slightly hairy on the edge. The leaves have an 8 to 12 millimeter long, slightly hairy to almost bare stalk. The stipules are about 4 millimeters long, long-ovate to linear-lanceolate, almost glabrous, pointed with a serrated edge. The leaf blade is simple, 3.5 to 6.8 inches long and 3 to 5 inches wide, ovate to ovate-elongated, lobed, long, pointed with a more or less heart-shaped base and a single or double serrated edge. The two base lobes are often pointed long. The underside of the leaf is slightly hairy on the nerves.
The flowers are five to 15 in dense, 3 to 8 centimeters long racemes with a hairy stem. They have a diameter of 4 to 5 millimeters and a 3 to 5 millimeter long, hairy flower stalk. The flower cup is bell-shaped to urn-shaped, 2 to 5 millimeters long and densely hairy on the outside. The sepals are triangular-lanceolate, shorter than the calyx tube, hairy on both sides, with entire margins and long pointed. The petals are pink, 2 to 5 millimeters long and obovate. About 20 stamens and one to five carpels are formed per flower . The ovary is cylindrical and pubescent and has four to six rarely to 10 ovules. The follicles are elliptical and hairy, the seeds are egg-shaped. The species blooms from May to June, the fruits ripen from July to September.
Distribution and ecology
The natural range is in the Chinese provinces of Sichuan , Xizang and Yunnan . It grows in species-rich forests at altitudes of 1100 to 3500 meters on fresh to moist, acidic to neutral, sandy or loamy-humic soils in sunny to partially shaded locations. The species tolerates warmth and is usually frost hardy.

- Neillia affinis var. Affinis with one to two carpels with 4 to 6 ovules and 3 to 8 centimeters long inflorescences with 6 to 15 flowers. The variety is found in mixed forests at altitudes of 1,100 to 3,500 meters in central Sichuan, south Xizang and northwest Yunnan.
- Neillia affinis var. Pauciflora (Rehder) JE Vidal with carpels with 8 to 10 ovules and 3 to 4 centimeters long inflorescences with 5 to 10 flowers. The distribution area is in southeast Yunnan at an altitude of 2000 to 2300 meters.
- Neillia affinis var. Polygyna Cardot ex JE Vidal with three to five carpels . The distribution area is in open forests in the northwest of Yunnan at altitudes of about 3400 meters.
