Both species share morphological similarities with  Camellia inusitata (扁枝山茶), such as a single, branchless trunk, but clearly differ in leaf size and shape, larger flowers, shorter pedicels, bracteoles, petals, and sepals, as well as ovary and style indumentum.

Both new species were added to the International Camellia Register together with those photos published.
