Berchemia kulingensis Schneid. in Sarg. PL. Wils. 2: 216. 1914; Metrcalf in Pek. Nat. Hist. Bull. 16: 24. 1941.——B. polyphylla Wall. ex Laws. var. leIoclada auct. non Hand.-Mazz. : Metcalf, 1. c. 16: 25, 27. 1941. quoad cit. Ching 1456.
藤状或攀援灌木，高达3米；小枝平展，变黄色，无毛，后变淡褐色。叶纸质，卵状椭圆形或卵状矩圆形，长2-6.5厘米，宽1.5-3.5厘米，顶端钝圆或锐尖，具小尖头，基部圆形或近心形，两面无毛，上面绿色，下面干时常灰绿色，侧脉每边7-9 (10)条，叶脉在两面稍凸起；叶柄长6-10毫米，无毛；托叶披针形，长约3毫米，基部合生。花绿色，无毛，通常2-3个簇生排成近无梗或具短总梗的疏散聚伞总状花序，或稀窄聚伞圆锥花序，花序长3-5厘米，无毛；粒梗长2-3毫米，无毛；花芽圆球形，顶端收缩成渐尖；萼片三角形，顶端渐尖，边缘被疏缘毛；花瓣倒卵形，稍长。核果长圆柱形，长7-9毫米，直径3.5-4毫采，红色，成熟时黑紫色，基部宿存的花盘盘状；果梗长2-4毫米，无毛。花期6-7月，果期翌年4-6月。
产安徽、江苏、浙江、江西、福建、湖南、湖北、四川、贵州、广西。生于山谷灌丛、林缘或林中，海拔300-2150米。模式标本采自江西庐山。
根药用，治风湿痛。
此种与光枝勾儿茶B. polyphylla var. leioclada Hand.-Mazz.外形＋分近似，而且容易混淆，但后者的叶柄较短，被短柔毛，果实当年成熟，不难区别。Metcalf (1941)曾认为本种仅分布于江西，与云南勾儿茶B. yunnanensis Franch.比较接近，似乎无明显的区别。但由于后者的叶较大，侧脉每边8-12条，干时下面变金黄色，花密集成聚伞状总状花序，常生于侧枝顶端，与本种显然不同。

牯岭勾儿茶 gu ling gou er cha
Shrubs scandent or climbing, to 3 m tall. Branchlets spreading, yellow, turning pale brown, glabrous. Stipules lanceolate, ca. 3 mm, basally connate; petiole 6-10 mm, glabrous; leaf blade abaxially grayish green when dry, adaxially green, ovate-elliptic or ovate-oblong, 2-6.5 × 1.5-3.5 cm, papery, both surfaces glabrous, lateral veins 7-9(or 10) pairs, veins slightly prominent on both surfaces, base rounded or subcordate, apex obtuse-rounded or acute, mucronulate. Inflorescences 3-5 cm, glabrous. Flowers green, glabrous, usually 2- or 3-fascicled in subsessile or shortly pedunculate lax cymose racemes, rarely narrowly cymose panicles. Pedicels 2-3 mm, glabrous. Sepals triangular, margin ciliate, apex acuminate. Petals obovate. Drupe red when young, black-purple at maturity, narrowly cylindric, 7-9 mm, 3.5-4 mm in diam., with persistent cup-shaped disk at base; fruiting pedicel 2-3 mm, glabrous. Fl. Jun-Jul, fr. Apr-Jun of following year.
● Forests in valleys, forest margins, thickets; 300-2200 m. Anhui, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang.
The roots are used medicinally.
This species is quite similar to Berchemia polyphylla var. leioclada, but the latter differs in having shorter, pubescent petioles and fruit that matures within the same year.
