Edgeworthia chrysantha, also known as Oriental paperbush or mitsumata, is a deciduous shrub in the Thymelaeaceae family. It was named after Irish botanist Michael Pakenham Edgeworth and his sister, writer Maria Edgeworth. The plant has dark green, leathery leaves and yellow, fragrant flowers that bloom from February to April. It is native to Myanmar and parts of China, where it grows in forests and on slopes. The bark fibres of this plant are used to make traditional Japanese paper, known as "mitsumata paper", which is also used for banknotes due to its durability. In China, the flowers, roots, and bark are used in traditional medicine.
