Castanopsis fargesii is a species of evergreen tree native to southern China and Taiwan.[2] It grows 10–30 m tall.[3]
The species was first described by Adrien René Franchet in 1899.[2] The Latin specific epithet fargesii refers to the French missionary and amateur botanist Père Paul Guillaume Farges (1844–1912).[4][5]
