Abstract

A new species of Camellia (Theaceae) endemic to the Dalat Plateau in southern Vietnam is described and illustrated: Camellia dongnaiensis. The newly described species has large pendulous, narrowly obovate leaves; two whorled, waxy, pendulous flowers exhibiting emarginate, graduated yellow-apricot to intensely pink petals; peduncles distinctly wider at the proximal end; a compound style consisting of six parts that are fused at the base for one third of their length; persistent bracteoles; and a superior five-chambered ovary. The morphological evidence supports taxonomic placement in Camellia sect. Piquetia (Pierre) Sealy.
