» Description
Camellia thailandica Hung T.Chang & S.X.Ren in Acta Sci. Nat. Univ. Sunyatseni 30(1): 67 (1991). . Type:—THAILAND. Khao Yai National Park, Khao Khieo, 14°21’N, 101°22’E,elev. 1200–1300 m, 29 October 1970, Charoenphol et al. 4205 (holotype MO; isotypes BKF!, C!, K!) .
This species is only known from Northern Thailand. The type was found in Khao Yai National Park, Khao Khreo. There is possible continuous decline in area of occupancy (AOO) and extent of occurrence (EOO) due to the loss of habitat. The Khao Yai National Park measure 2,168 km2 in area, and the EOO of the park is about 2,500 km2.
Camellia thailandica was simply compared with C. brevistyla (Hayata 1908: 63) Cohen Stuart (1916: 67) on the size and shape of the leaves and flowers in the protologue (Chang & Ren 1991), and it is actually C.kissi based on its protologue and the types examined.
Camellia thailandica has most recently been assessed for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2015. Camellia thailandica is listed as Endangered under criteria B1ab(iii).

泰国山茶 Camellia thailandica Hung T.Chang & S.X.Ren in Acta Sci. Nat. Univ. Sunyatseni 30(1): 67 (1991)
该物种仅分布于泰国北部。该模式标本发现于考艾国家公园（Khao Khreo）。由于栖息地的丧失，其占有面积（AOO）和发生范围（EOO）可能持续下降（G. Orel pers. comm. 2015）。考艾国家公园面积为2,168平方公里，公园的EOO约为2,500平方公里。
在泰国山茶新种发表的原始文献 (Chang & Ren 1991)中，泰国山茶 (C. thailandica) 曾简单地与 C. brevistyla (Hayata 1908: 63) 和Cohen Stuart (1916: 67) 就叶子和花的大小和形状进行了比较，但根据其性状，泰国山茶实际上是 落瓣短柱茶(C. kissi)。
泰国山茶最近一次于 2015年进行了IUCN濒危等级评估，被评为濒危 Endangered（EN）。
