Kukhona ngaphezu kwama-100 izinhlobo zama-lychee, futhi izinhlobo ezintsha ziyaqhubeka nokuphuma unyaka nonyaka.
Manje yisikhathi sokujabulela ama-lychee ngokofficial. Kunenqwaba yama-lychee atholakalayo emakethe. Izitolo ezinkulu, izitolo zezithelo, kanye nabathengisi bezitaladi bonke bayakhala ngama-lychee amasha, ngezisho ezikhangayo ezifana no"Akudingeki ukhokhe uma engasweli" nezintengo ezihlukahlukene ukusuka phezulu kuya phansi.
I-Litchi (igama lesayensi: Litchi chinensis Sonn.) ingeyomndeni we-Sapindaceae kanye nezinhlobo ze-Litchi. Iyi-wood evergreen, cishe imitha engu-10 ukuphakama. Isikhumba sezithelo sinezikhala eziphakeme, sikhanya okubomvu nokubomvu okuphakathi. Lapho iphumelele ngokuphelele, iba okubomvu okukhanyayo; imbewu zonke zifihlwe ngempahla ye-fleshy engamanga. Isikhathi sokukhula siba ngentwasahlobo kanti isikhathi sokukhiqiza siba ngempumalanga. Lapho ikhululekile, inyama yezithelo ibonakala futhi ibhaki, inombala opholile futhi inambitheka kahle, kodwa ayifanele ukugcinwa.
Itholakala eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeChina, kuhlanganisa iYunnan, iGuizhou, iSichuan neChongqing, kanye nezindawo eziseningizimu ezifana neGuangxi, iGuangdong neHainan, kanye nezindawo eziseningizimu-mpumalanga ezifana neFujian, iZhejiang neTaiwan. Iphinde ikhuliswe engxenyeni eseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia. Kukhona amarekhodi okungena kwayo e-Afrika, eMelika nase-Oceania. I-Lychee yaziwa njengomunye wez "Izithelo Ezine Eziyinhloko Zaseningizimu" kanye nezithelo zabananas, ama-pineapples kanye ne-longans.
ILitchi imnandi, inenhliziyo enokuthungwa, futhi inobushushu. Ihlangana nemithambo yenhliziyo, isikhumba kanye nezinso. Ingavimbela ukuhamba komoya nokuhlanza. Iyi-therapi yokudla ephakeme kubantu abane-hiccups ezinzima kanye nokuhlanza okwenziwa ebusuku. Ngasikhathi sinye, inezinzuzo zokondla ubuchopho, ukukhuthaza ukuzivocavoca, ukuheha isifiso sokudla nokwenzela isikhumba. Ngenxa yobushushu bayo, ukudla kakhulu kungaholela ekushiseni okweqile.

Izici zomfanekiso Isaziso

Ithanga linemfashini ejikelezayo, umgogodla omkhulu unombala ompunga-brown futhi uhlelekile. Amagatsha anokuncipha futhi alide, anethemba lokukhula phezulu. Amagatsha anonyaka owodwa anombala ophuzi-brown onemibala emhlophe-ompunga, anama-lenticels aningi, cishe ajikelezayo. Amagatsha anokuphuka kalula futhi ayaphuka. Izikhonkwane zamahlamvu zifushane, zinciphile, futhi ziqinile kancane, zilinganisa u-8.0 centimeters ubude. Ingxenye ephezulu imnyama-brown enokuthile okukhanyayo, ingxenye engezansi imnyama-green, futhi izikhonkwane zamahlamvu zincane. Kukhona ama-pair angu-2 kuya ku-3 wamahlamvu amancane, aphikisana noma aphikisana kakhulu. Amahlamvu anemfashini ende eliptical, anamaphuzu afushane, isisekelo sikhulu futhi sinjengomfanekiso, silinganisa u-7 kuya ku-9 centimeters ubude no-2.5 kuya ku-3.8 centimeters ububanzi. Imikhawulo yamahlamvu iyajikajika ngaphakathi noma iyashintsha kancane, inemithambo emincane futhi ethambile; imithambo eyinhloko imincane, imithambo yangasese iyancipha futhi ayicacile; ihlathi linobukhulu obuphakathi, luhlaza futhi lukhazimula; izikhonkwane zamahlamvu ziqinile, zinezigcawu ezishisayo, ingxenye ephezulu imnyama-brown, kanti ingxenye engezansi imnyama-green.

Ispike seflori sikhulu ngama-centimeter angama-23.0, amagatsha eflori thin futhi ahlukanisiwe, ahlukaniswe, anombala ophuzi-oluhlaza, anama-ukhala ahlukanisiwe, kanti i-axis ye-flower inezinhlamvu ezingacacile. Iziphunga zamadoda zinkulu, zilinganisa ama-centimeter angama-1.1 ukuphakama kanye nama-centimeter angama-1.0 ububanzi. I-stalk ye-flower inama-millimeter angama-4.0 ubude, ama-sepals anombala ophuzi-oluhlaza, anama-lob angama-5, anama-ukhala amfushane futhi ahlukanisiwe anombala omnyama. Kukhona ama-stamens angama-6 kuya kwangama-8, ngokuvamile ama-7, anama-filaments e-flower angama-millimeter angama-4.6 ubude, ama-ukhala amfushane futhi anqamukile, ama-anthers akhulu, i-disk ye-flower inama-millimeter angama-2 kuya kwangama-4 ububanzi, ophuzi-oluhlaza; i-flower yabesifazane incishisiwe futhi kuphela izimpawu ezisele; ububanzi obuphakeme bungu-8.7 millimeters, ububanzi obuphakathi bungu-6.7 millimeters, i-stalk ye-flower inama-millimeter angama-4.0, i-ovary inombala ophuzi-oluhlaza, i-stigma imfishane futhi ihlukaniswe kancane, inama-ukhala ahlukanisiwe futhi amfushane, futhi kukhona ama-stamens angama-6 aphukile.
