Deutzianthus tonkinensis is a small tree up to about 12 m tall from southern China and northern Vietnam, where it is the dominant tree in parts of Nonggang Natural Reserve. It is a species, not a genus; it is grown mainly in its native forests and reserves rather than as a garden plant.
Deutzianthus tonkinensis (Vietnamese: mọ or giát) is a species of small tree up to 12 metres (39 ft) tall in the family Euphorbiaceae. It is found in southern China (SW Guangxi, S Yunnan) and northern Vietnam. The species is under second-class national protection in China.
Within Nonggang Natural Reserve in southern Guangxi, D. tonkinensis is the dominant tree species; however, its young leaves contributed only a minor proportion to the diet of the herbivorous monkey François' langur.
