A new variety of Phoebe Nees, Phoebe neurantha (Hemsl.) Gamble var. lobophylla Y.J. Fei was reported in Hubei Province, China. It was different to Phoebe neurantha (Hemsl.) Gamble that the leaf width was distinctly narrowed between the middle part of leaf and 1/3 from the tip of leaf. There are strong lateral veins supporting the leaf margins. The leaves were lobed, and if not, the leaves become narrowed. The two variants are narrowed and narrow in the apex. The apex part were leptophyllous, gradually pointed and curved in the two variants. The veins fall deeper compared with the P. neurantha. The angle between the lateral veins and the main veins gradually increased and eventually feathered. The closer the leaf tip is, the more dense the lateral veins become. The number of unilateral veins was 25-40. It was found that the leaf edge of the lower surface of P. neurantha (Hemsl.) Gamble var. lobophylla Y.J. Fei was non keratinized, rough and ciliate.Moreover, these traits can be stably inherited to offspring. Holotype was deposited in the herbarium of Wuhan Botanical Garden (numbering Y.J.Fei002, HIB), China.
