I treated S. microcalyx Hayata as an endemic species to the Ryukyus in 1993, but I cannot find significant differences between S. microcalyx and the plants in Taiwan and S. China which bloom in spring having small bracts.

Evergreen small trees; twigs dark brown, terete; young twigs brown with appressed or patent brown hairs. Terminal buds ovoid to subulate, with the same indument as young twigs, the apex acuminate and usually curved. Leaves: blades coriaceous, narrowly (often obliquely) rhomboidal, oblong or lanceolate, 5-10 cm long, 1.5-3.5 cm wide, apex acuminate to long caudate with apiculate tip, base often subequal, cuneate, rounded or obtuse, sometimes slightly cordate, margin slightly recurved, crenate-serrate with teeth (1-)2-4(-6) mm apart; upper surface shining, glabrous except midrib or rarely sparsely setose; lower surface dull or glossy, sparsely appressed hairy or setose; midrib sulcate of slightly prominent at the base above, prominent and appressed hairy or setose beneath; nerves 6-10 pairs, slightly prominent beneath; petioles with appressed or obliquely patent hairs, 1-3(-4) mm long. Inflorescence axillary, a simple spike or a shortly pedicelled raceme, 4 to 20-flowered, 1-5 cm long, the axis villose with same indumentum as young twigs; pedicel to 1(-2) mm long; bracts semi-orbicular to ovate, keeled, 1.5-2.5 mm long, apex obtuse or acute; bracteoles 2, ovate to triangular, ca. 1.5 mm long, both persistent, adaxially glabrous, abaxially appressed hairy. Flowers: calyx tube glabrous, 1-1.5 mm high; calyx limb, 1-1.5 mm long; calyx lobes imbricate, ovate , 1-1.5 mm long, glabrous or abaxially appressed hairy, apex obtuse; corolla deeply 5-lobed, white, the lobe elliptic, ca. 4 mm long; stamens ca. 25; disk 5-glandular, pilose or rarely glabrous; style glabrous, swollen at base, 4-6 mm long; ovary 3-locular. Fruits obliquely ovoid to globose, crowned by persistent calyx lobes, 5-7 mm long excluding calyx limb, 4-5 mm in diameter. Distributed in Taiwan and S. China; in Taiwan 1,500-2,100 m altitude.

H. P. Nooteboom（见文献引证）将H. Migo应用McClure 13164号花标本建立的Bobua austrosinensis Migo归并于Symplocos sumuntia Buch. -Ham. ex D. Don,但后者的叶卵形或狭倒卵形，边近全缘，干后不呈红褐色等特征与 H. Migo 应用的模式标本显然不同。作者看见了H. Migo应用的模式标本，叶千后呈红褐色，边缘具锯齿；花萼裂片卵形，顶端圆，背面被微柔毛，与萼筒等长等特征与本种相同，应属于本种无疑。
