Corylopsis sinensis differs from C. spicata, to which it is most closely 
allied, in the stipules of the flowering branches being broader than long; 
in the leaves being broadest above the middle; in the orbicular petals 
being suddenly narrowed into a distinct claw; in the yellow anthers and 
white seeds.

‘It is a taller and more hairy plant than G. eriostemon. the leaves 
are not so deeply cut and the lobes are broader: the peduncles are 
shorter and stouter; the flowers are larger, the corolla much exceeding
