Rhus potaninii, the Chinese varnish tree, Chinese sumac (names it shares with other species), Potanin's sumac, or Potanin's lacquer tree, is a species of flowering plant in the family Anacardiaceae.[3][4][5] It is native to central and southern China.[2] A deciduous tree reaching 12 m (39 ft), it is typically found growing on hill and mountain slopes, in forests and thickets at elevations from 900 to 2,500 m (3,000 to 8,200 ft) above sea level.[5][6] It is named for its collector, Grigory Potanin.[4] Valued for its rounded crown and vibrant red fall foliage, it is available from commercial suppliers.[5]
