Abstract

A new species of Camellia is described from material collected from Hon Giao Mountain, Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park, southern Vietnam. The analysis and figures demonstrate how Camellia flosculora differs from other known Camellia species and illustrate the new species, which is characterized by relatively small leaf blades, short pedicels, and very small flowers with short stamens and styles. The morphology of the newly described species justifies its taxonomic placement in Camellia section Thea series Sinenses.
