Camellia tuyenquangensis V.D.Luong, Le & Ninh. Korean J. Pl. Taxon. 47: 95 (2017)

The specimen was first discovered by Luong Van Dung in 2016 in Chiem Hoa district, Tuyen Quang province. In 2017, a group of authors Le Nguyet Hai Ninh, Chiyomi Uematsu, Hironori Katayama, Nguyen Thi Lieu, Tran Ninh, Luong Van Dung and Hoang Thanh Son published in the Korean Journal of Plant Taxonomy with the scientific name Camellia tuyenquangensis. The Vietnamese name is Tra Tuyen Quang, after the provincial place where the specimen was first discovered.

 Camellia tuyenquangensis is similar to Camellia luongii but different from the latter species in several morphological features: leaves oblong-ovate to narrow elliptic; flowers 1–2; bracteoles glabrous on both sides; sepal margins ciliate; style cleft one half of the length. The morphological data provisionally support its placement in Camellia sect. Chrysantha Chang.

TYPE: VIETNAM. Tuyen Quang province: Chiem Hoa  district, 25 Oct 2016 (fl), Luong Van Dung 161101 (holotype,  DLU; isotype, SING)

 Etymology: The specific epithet of the new species refers  to the location of discovery, Tuyen Quang province, Vietnam.

 Distribution and phenology: This species was found in the  forest of Chiem Hoa district, Tuyen Quang province, at the elevations of 500–800 m. It was collected with the flowers in October. No mature capsules or seeds were evident. 

 IUCN Red List category  The Area of Occupancy (AOO) for C. tuyenquangensis is  estimated to be less than 1 km2  . Despite a thorough survey of  the area around the type locality, only eight additional mature trees were found. The total known population of the species is consisted of fewer than 50 indivuduals, and it would be qualified as Critically Endangered (CR) under criterion D (IUCN, 2011).
