Leaves in whorls of 4; petiole (0.3-)0.5-2 cm; blade drying thinly papery, ovate, oblong-ovate, or broadly elliptic, 3-10 × 1.2-4.5 cm, length/ breadth index 1.8-2.3, adaxially subglabrous and scaberulous, abaxially glabrous to pilosulous, base obtuse, rounded, or cordulate, margin scaberulous to ciliate, apex acute or acuminate; principal veins 5 or 7, palmate. Inflorescences thyrsoid, terminal and axillary in upper nodes, paniculate, many flowered, 5-30 cm, glabrous to pilosulous; axes scaberulous to smooth; bracts lanceolate, 1.5-8 mm; pedicels 2-7 mm. Ovary ca. 0.8 mm, smooth to scaberulous. Corolla greenish white, rotate, 3-4 mm in diam., glabrous, with fused base 0.2-0.6 mm; lobes 5, lanceolate, 1.7-2 mm, acute to caudate.

Rubia chinensis and a few related species with erect (not climbing) stems and broad leaves with short petioles have been placed by Pojarkova (Fl. URSS 23: 391-392. 1958) into R. ser. Chinenses. Other Chinese species of this group include the closely related R. latipetala and R. schumanniana. The R. mandersii species group (see there) is similar but has sessile leaves.Rubia chinensis and a few related species with erect (not climbing) stems and broad leaves with short petioles have been placed by Pojarkova (Fl.
