Wikstroemia uva-ursi with unripe fruit Wikstroemia gemmata

Gampi or Ganpi[1] are a group of Japanese shrubs, members of the genus Wikstroemia, some of which have been used for making paper since the 8th century.[2] It is used to make the high quality washi paper, as are kōzo and mitsumata trees.[3]

Various sources have identified Gampi or Ganpi as:

* Wikstroemia albiflora Yatabe: known as Miyama ganpi in Japan.[4]
* Wikstroemia canescens (Wall.) Meisn.[1] (syn. Diplomorpha canescens[5]): a south Asian plant
* Wikstroemia diplomorpha:[6] not a valid systematic name
* Wikstroemia ganpi (Siebold & Zucc.) Maxim.: known as Ko ganpi in Japan[4]
* Wikstroemia kudoi Makino: Endemic to Kyushu (Yakushima). Known as Shakunan-ganpi in Japan.[7]
* Wikstroemia pauciflora (Franch. & Sav.) Makino: known as Sakura ganpi in Japan[4]
* Wikstroemia pseudoretusa Koidz.: Endemic to the Ogasawara Islands. Known in Japan as Munin-aoganpi.[7]
* Wikstroemia retusa A.Gray:[5] known in Japan as Ao ganpi[4]
* Wikstroemia sikokiana Franch. & Sav.[8] (syn. Diplomorpha sikokiana[5]): known in Japan as Ganpi[4]
* Wikstroemia trichotoma (Thunb.) Makino: used for paper-making in China, Korea and Japan;[9] known as Ki ganpi in Japan.[4]
