Liquidambar caudata is a species of sweetgum tree endemic to East China.[2][3][4][5][6]
Liquidambar caudata is similar to Altingia gracilipes, but its leaves are not strongly 3-nerved at the base.[2] It can grow up to 10 meters tall.
Liquidambar caudata is native to the coastal Chinese provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang and lives primarily in subtropical forest habitats.[3][4][7]
