  灌木,高1-2米;枝近圆柱状,干时红褐色,被糙伏毛,节间的毛稀疏,节上很密。叶纸质,长圆形,有时长圆状倒披针形,长8-14厘米,宽2.5-4厘米或稍过之,顶端骤尖或短渐尖,基部楔形或稍钝,有时两侧稍不对称,边全缘或微浅波状,干时通常灰色或褐灰色,上面无毛,下面中脉和侧脉上密被伸展的长硬毛,横行小脉上被稀疏硬毛;中脉在上面微压入,下面凸起,侧脉每边7-9条,斜升或弧状斜升,小脉近平行;叶柄长不超过1厘米,被糙伏毛;托叶披针状三角形,长约6-8毫米,密被长硬毛;无苞片。核果无梗,2至多个簇生叶腋,卵圆形,长7-8毫米,被伸展硬毛,成熟时紫蓝色,顶冠以4-5片卵状三角形、长2-2.5毫米、被长硬毛的宿萼裂片,含4或5个分核。花期4-5月,果期9-10月。
  广东罗浮山特有。常生林下。
  在一些文献中记载,本种也分布在海南、广东潮安凤凰山和肇庆鼎湖山以及福建和台湾。但据编者检视历年来在上述地区采到的粗叶木属标本均未发现本种,故这些报道可能是标本鉴定错误造成的失实。

Forests, shaded and wet places; ca. 100 m. Guangdong, Hainan, Taiwan [Indonesia, Malaysia (Peninsular), Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam].
Lasianthus trichophlebus was often confused with both L. chinensis and L. verticillatus. However, it differs from L. chinensis by having leathery leaves with 7-9 pairs of lateral veins and parallel veinlets; stipules triangular-lanceolate, strigillose, 5-8 mm; flowers 4-merous; and pyrenes 4. It differs from L. verticillatus by having strigillose hairs on young branches and leaf nerves abaxially; stipules triangular-lanceolate, strigillose, 5-8 mm; flowers 4-merous; calyx with strigillose triangular lobes; and drupes with 4 pyrenes and verrucose on external surface.Lasianthus trichophlebus was often confused with both L. chinensis and L. verticillatus.
