ILitshi (igama lesayensi: Litchi chinensis Sonn.) liyingxenye yomndeni wakwaSapindaceae kanye nohlobo lweLitchi. Isihlahla esihlala siluhlaza, cishe amamitha ayi-10 ubude. Ikhasi lesithelo linamaqhubu afana namaxolo, libomvu ngokugqamile futhi libomvu ngokunsundu. Uma selivuthiwe ngokugcwele, liphenduka libomvu ngokugqamile; izimbewu zembozwa yi-false seed coat eyinyama. Isikhathi sokuqhakaza siseNtwasahlobo kanti isikhathi sokuthela siseHlobo. Uma kusanda kukhiwa, inyama yesithelo icwebezela futhi ifana nejeli, inokunambitheka okumnandi futhi okumnandi, kodwa ayifanele ukugcinwa.
Kusatshalaliswa eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeChina, kufaka phakathi iYunnan, iGuizhou, iSichuan neChongqing, kanye nezifunda eziseningizimu njengeGuangxi, iGuangdong neHainan, kanye nezifunda eziseningizimu-mpumalanga njengeFujian, iZhejiang neTaiwan.

Liyisinqumo esihle kakhulu sokwelapha ngokudla kulabo abanokuhwaqaza okunzima kanye nohudo lwasebusuku. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, linemiphumela yokondla ubuchopho, ukukhuthaza ukuqina komzimba, ukuvusa isifiso sokudla kanye nokuzuzisa ubende. Ngenxa yemvelo yalo efudumele, ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kungaholela kalula ekushiseni okweqile.
