Daphne yunnanensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae, native to China (southwest Yunnan).[1] It was first described in 1985.[2]

Daphne yunnanensis is distinguished from Daphne papyracea by the shape of its leaves which usually have tips that are pointed to heart-shaped (acuminate-caudate) and the shape of the disk which is almost divided into four parts, having two bifid lobes. It occurs in montane forests.[3][4]
