Lindera comprises trees or shrubs that can be either deciduous or evergreen. They are characterized by their fragrant foliage and produce small, star-shaped, dioecious flowers that appear in axillary umbels during the spring. Pollinated female plants will later develop glossy berries.

Lindera sericea is a shrub or small tree that typically reaches a height of around 4 meters. Its young branchlets are yellowish-green, transitioning to a reddish-brown hue as they mature, and the foliage consists of narrow, dark green leaves that can grow up to 20 cm in length, turning yellow in the fall. In spring, before the leaves emerge, small clusters of 4 to 7 yellow flowers bloom. Female plants produce black berries if they are pollinated by a male counterpart.

Lindera tonkinensis is a slender, evergreen shrub or small tree that typically reaches a height of around 5 meters. It features long, narrow leaves that can grow up to 14 centimeters in length, characterized by a papery texture and orange bristle-like hairs along the prominent veins on the underside. During the transition from mid-autumn to early spring, this plant produces yellow flowers either individually or in small clusters from the leaf axils. Female plants, when pollinated by a male, will develop small black fruit from late spring to late summer.
