Euonymus wilsonii, the Chinese euonymus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae.

[1] It is native to central and southern China.

[2] A large, lax shrub typically 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft) tall, it is found in forests and scrublands at elevations from 1,000 to 2,600 m (3,300 to 8,500 ft).

[3] In cultivation it is valued for its spiky yellow fruit that the Royal Horticultural Society says "resemble little yellow hedgehogs dangling in the breeze".

[1][4] It is available from commercial suppliers,[1] but is often confused with Euonymus myrianthus, the many-flowered spindle.
