Camellia tunghinensis is a species of plant in the family Theaceae.

It is endemic to China. It is threatened by habitat loss.[ 그것은 중국 고유종이다. 서식지 감소로 위협을 받고 있다.]

 

Camellia tunghinensis has small, yellow, single flowers and green leaves.  Camellia tunghinensis is rarely offered (if ever) and probably best suited to a sunroom, conservatory or very mild climate.  Little to no information available on this interesting RARE species but guessing frost free or nearly so is required.  Has been very easy for us to grow and flower in a container (greenhouse grown).
