Castanea henryi var. omeiensis W. P. Fang (Acta Phytotax. Sin. 9: 307. 1964) has stellate tomentose hairs on the young leaf blades and 1-3 nuts per cupule, and is probably not a variety of C. henryi but rather a hybrid between C. henryi and C. mollissima.

Castanea henryi
provided by wikipedia EN
Castanea henryi, Henry chestnut, Henry's chestnut, or Chinese chinquapin (a name it shares with Castanea seguinii), pearl chestnut, and in Chinese: 锥栗, zhui li, is a species of chestnut native to south-central and southeast China.[2] A tree reaching 30 m, it is a source of good timber, but has smaller nuts than its size might suggest. Like its close relative Castanea mollissima (Chinese chestnut) it is widely cultivated in China, and quite a few varieties have been developed in recent times.[3]
