Nyssa yunnanensis is a species of tree in the Nyssa genus. It is a dioecious tree (meaning that it has distinct male and female individual organisms) reaching 25–30 m (82–98 ft) in height. This flowering canopy tree inhabits mountainous tropical bogs and marshes.[2]
Because of habitat loss and logging, this species is critically endangered.[1] It now exists only in the vicinity of Xishuangbanna, which is located in Jinghong County, Yunnan Province, China.[1][3]
