Polyspora axillaris

Polyspora axillaris is a species of evergreen tree or shrub that can grow up to 9 m tall. It is commonly known as fried egg plant or fried egg tree for its white and yellow flower. The species is found in southern China, including Hong Kong and Hainan, Taiwan and Vietnam. It is a garden tree all over the world.

While earlier grouped under Gordonia, the genus Polyspora has been found to be not closely related to the North American species, thus transferring the species to its own genus.
