Changiostyrax dolichocarpus is a small deciduous tree, the only species in its genus, native to a few sites in Hunan province, China, and rare in the wild. It is not a commonly grown garden or houseplant, so care advice here is general and based on related Styracaceae trees.
Changiostyrax is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the family Styracaceae. Its only member species is Changiostyrax dolichocarpus, formerly known as Sinojackia dolichocarpa.
It is endemic to central China in Hunan province, where it occurs at altitudes of 400–500 m. It is threatened by habitat loss. An exhaustive survey of its range during the decade from 1995 to 2005 revealed only six extant populations, one of which has since been destroyed.
