Plants

Cinnamon trees

• Cinnamomum cassia (??, ròuguì), the cassia or Chinese cinnamon, found in southern China and Indochina
• Other East Asian species of Cinnamomum, such as C. burmannii (Indonesian cinnamon) and C. loureiroi (the Vietnamese cinnamon)

Osmanthus

• Osmanthus fragrans (??, guìhu?), is the osmanthus or sweet olive found in southern China and Indochina. References to the osmanthus in Chinese literature and poetry are often translated as "cassia" because both trees were formerly known in China as ? (Modern Standard Mandarin: guì). Similarly, "cassia" wine typically refers to Chinese wine flavored with osmanthus, not cassia proper.
