Pseudotaxus chienii, known commonly as the whiteberry yew[1] (Chinese: 白豆杉; pinyin: báidòushān; lit.
'white bean conifer'), is a species of plant in the yew family, Taxaceae.
The leaves are lanceolate, flat, 1–2.6 cm long and 2–3 mm broad, dark green above, with two white stomatal bands below; they are arranged spirally on the stem, but with the leaf bases twisted to align the leaves in two flat rows either side of the stem.
The conspicuous white stomatal bands on the harder, stiffer (less soft) leaves readily distinguish it from the yews in the genus Taxus.
The female (seed) cones are very similar to those of Taxus species, but the aril is white when mature, not red; they are 5–7 mm long and wide.
