It is native to the province of Hubei in southern central China.[1]
The genus name of Shiuyinghua is in honour of Shiu-Ying Hu (1910–2012), a Chinese botanist. She was an expert in the plant genera of Ilex (Aquifoliaceae), Hemerocallis (Amaryllidaceae), and Panax (Araliaceae).[2] The Latin specific epithet of silvestrii means woodland, from silva.[3] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in J. Arnold Arbor. Vol.43 on page 217 in 1962.[1]
