Actinidia eriantha is a species of flowering plant in the Chinese gooseberry family Actinidiaceae, native to southern China. A large climbing shrub, it is found in low mountain forests and grassy thickets at elevations from . It fruits in November, which has precluded its development as a commercial crop.
Actinidia eriantha is a species of flowering plant in the Chinese gooseberry family Actinidiaceae, native to southern China. It is one of the wild kiwifruit species in the genus Actinidia.
Genomics A chromosome-level haplotype-resolved genome assembly of a wild kiwifruit (Actinidia eriantha) individual was published in 2026. The assembled genome sizes were approximately 663.8 Mb and 633.1 Mb for the two haplotypes, with 29 pseudochromosomes. The assembly had a BUSCO completeness score of 99.5%, and 39,983 and 40,099 high-confidence protein-coding genes were predicted for the two haplotypes, respectively.
