Kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-100 zama-lychee, futhi izinhlobo ezintsha zihlale zivela unyaka nonyaka.
Manje yisikhathi sokujabulela ngokusemthethweni ama-lychee. Kunenani elikhulu lama-lychee etholakala emakethe. Izitolo ezinkulu, izitolo zezithelo, nabathengisi basemgwaqweni bonke bamemeza ngama-lychee amasha, ngemishwana ekhangayo njengokuthi "Akukho sidingo sokukhokha uma kungamunandi" futhi amanani ahlukahlukene kusuka phezulu kuye phansi.
I-Litchi (igama lesayensi: Litchi chinensis Sonn.) ingeyesihlahla somndeni wakwaSapindaceae nesihlahla sakwaLitchi. Isihlahla esiluhlaza njalo, esiphakeme cishe amamitha angu-10. Isikhumba sesithelo sinamabala anomumo, sibomvu ngokukhanyayo sibomvu okubomvu. Uma sivuthiwe ngokugcwele, siba bomvu ngokukhanyayo; imbewu yonke imbozwe isikhumba esingesona isembewu esiyinyama. Isikhathi sezimbali singentwasahlobo nesikhathi sezithelo singehlobo. Uma isisha, inyama yesithelo ayibonakali futhi inobulwelwe, inokunambitheka okunephunga elimnandi nokumnandi, kodwa ayifanele ukugcinwa. 
Iyasakazeka eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeShayina, okubandakanya iYunnan, iGuizhou, iSichuan neChongqing, kanye nezifunda ezisenhlonhlweni njengeGuangxi, iGuangdong neHainan, nezifunda ezisenhlonhlweni-mpumalanga njengeFujian, iZhejiang neTaiwan. Iphinde ilinywe engxenyeni eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia. Kukhona amarekhodi okungeniswa kwayo e-Afrika, eMelika nase-Oceania. I-Lychee yaziwa njengomunye "Wezithelo Ezinkulu Ezine ZaseNingizimu" kanye namabhanana, amapheya namalongan. 
I-Litchi imnandi, imuncu ngokunambitheka, futhi ifudumele ngokwemvelo. Ingena emithanjeni yenhliziyo, isibindi, nesibindi. Ingayeka ukukhwehlela nokuhambisa. Kuyisinqumo esihle kakhulu sokwelapha ukudla kulabo abanezinkinga zokukhwehlela ezingapheli nokuhambisa ebusuku. Ngaleso sikhathi, inemiphumela yokondla ubuchopho, ukukhuthaza ukuqina, ukukhuthaza ukudla, nokusiza isibindi. Ngenxa yemvelo yayo eshisayo, ukudla ngokweqile kungaholela kalula ekushiseni ngokweqile.

Izici ze-Morphological Isimemezelo

Ithanga linjengokujikijela, umgogodla omkhulu unombala ompunga-brown futhi uhlelekile. Amagatsha awaningi futhi alide, anethemba lokukhula phezulu. Amagatsha anonyaka owodwa anombala ophuzi-brown onemibala emhlophe-mpunga, anama-lenticels anjengezindandatho, cishe ajikelezayo. Amagatsha aphakathi kokuphuka futhi alula. Izikhwama zamahlamvu zifushane, zinciphile, futhi ziqinile kancane, zilinganisa u-8.0 centimeters ubude. Ingxenye ephezulu imnyama-brown enokukhanya okuncane kompunga, ingxenye engezansi imnyama-brown, futhi izikhala zamahlamvu zincane. Kukhona ama-pair angu-2 kuya ku-3 wamahlamvu amancane, aphikisana noma aphikisana kakhulu. Amahlamvu anjenge-elliptical ende, anama-tips amafushane, isisekelo sikhulu futhi sinjenge-wedge, silinganisa u-7 kuya ku-9 centimeters ubude no-2.5 kuya ku-3.8 centimeters ububanzi. Imikhawulo yamahlamvu ijikijela ngaphakathi noma ibhujiswa kancane, inemithambo emincane futhi ethambile; imithambo eyinhloko imincane, imithambo yangasese ayinayo futhi ayicacile; ihlamvu liphakathi kokuba nesisindo, luhlaza futhi lukhazimula; izikhwama zamahlamvu ziqinile, zinezigaba ezishisayo, ingxenye ephezulu imnyama-brown, kanti ingxenye engezansi imnyama-green.

Isiqu sokuqhakaza singamasentimitha angu-23.0 ubude, iziqu zokuqhakaza zincane futhi aziningi, zihlakazekile, zinemibala ephuzi-luhlaza, zinoboya obuncane, futhi isiqu sokuqhakaza sinamabala angacacile. Izimbali zesilisa zinkulu, zilinganisa u-1.1 sentimitha ubude no-1.0 sentimitha ububanzi. Isiqu sokuqhakaza singamamilimitha angu-4.0 ubude, ama-sepal aphuzi-luhlaza, anezilobi ezingu-5, anoboya obufushane futhi obuncane obunsundu. Kuneziqu zesilisa ezingu-6 kuya kwezingu-8, ngokuvamile ezingu-7, nezingxenye zokuqhakaza ezilinganisa amamilimitha angu-4.6 ubude, uboya bufushane futhi buningi, ama-antheri amakhulu, idiski lokuqhakaza lingamasentimitha angu-2 kuya kwangu-4 ububanzi, liphelile ngokuphaphatheka; imbali yesifazane incane futhi kukhona imikhondo kuphela esele; ubude obude bungamasentimitha angu-8.7, ububanzi bungamasentimitha angu-6.7, isiqu sokuqhakaza singamamilimitha angu-4.0, i-ovary iphuzi-luhlaza, i-stigma imfushane futhi ihlukaniswe kancane, inoboya obuncane futhi obufushane, futhi kuneziqu zesilisa ezingasebenzi ezingu-6.

Isithelo siphakathi ngosayizi, sinesisindo esiphakathi kuka-17 amagremu (ubude obungu-2.9 - 3.7 centimeters, ububanzi obungu-3.2 - 3.4 centimeters); siyindilinga noma cishe siyindilinga, sinomngcele ongaphansi bese phezulu siyindilinga; isikhumba sesithelo sikhanyisa okubomvu, sicaba futhi siphuka kalula; izindilinga zicacile futhi zimile njengekhoni elingalingani, ziba mnene futhi ziqine eduze phezulu nasezansi kwesithelo; umugqa wokuhlangana ucacile, ujulile futhi umncane, futhi ugobile; ububanzi besiqu sesithelo bungamamamitha angu-2.1; ububanzi besisekelo sesithelo bungamamamitha angu-3.3; isibambo sembewu sincane, ubude bungamamamitha angu-4.6 nobubanzi bungamamamitha angu-3.5; inyama yesithelo imhlophe njengobisi, ubukhulu bungamasentimitha angu-1.1. Imbewu ephelele yindilinga ende, icindezeleke kancane, ubude obude bungamasentimitha angu-1.2 - 1.8 nobubanzi bungamasentimitha angu-0.6 - 0.9, ubude obude benhliziyo yembewu bungamasentimitha angu-1.4, ububanzi bungamasentimitha angu-0.9, isisindo singu-0.5 amagremu, isikhumba sembewu siphuzi okubomvu futhi sicwebezela. Zinonhliziyo eziningi zembewu.
