The specimen was discovered by C.O. Levine in 1917 in Kwang Tung (China). In 1918, Merrill published it in the Philippine Journal of Science under the scientific name Thea furfuracea. In 1919 in the Bulletin du Jardin Botanique de Buitenzorg, author Cohen-Stuart changed the name to Camellia furfuracea. The Vietnamese name is Tra Cam because the skin of the fruit has bran scales.
