Pyrenaria buisanensis is a species of tea endemic to Taiwan. It was first described by the Japanese botanist S. Sasaki in 1931, but the herbarium specimens were lost and the species identity remained dubious until a 2004 publication that claimed to have rediscovered the species and reclassified it as a species of Pyrenaria.[1]
