The leaves of this species are very variable and fruit growth can be dwarfed in poor growing conditions. It is clear that Euonymus oblongifolius is an extreme form of this species. Euonymus chengii, which was included in this species in the revision work of Euonymus (J. S. Ma, Thaiszia 11: 1-264. 2001), is now recognized after careful examination of new collections.
