Neolitsea parvigemma is a species of small to medium-sized tree in the family Lauraceae. It is endemic to Taiwan, and confined to the south central mountain regions of the island.[3][4]
A number of chemicals from N. parvigemma show interesting biological properties. The hydrodistillated leaf essential oil of N. parvigemma has antifungal and anti-wood-decay fungal properties[5] Sesquiterpenes isolated from the stems have anti-inflammatory properties.[6]
