Abstract: The new species Camellia Weiningensis Y. K. Li as described in this paper is closely related to C. breristyla (Hay.) Coh. Stuart, but distinquished by its glabrous and persistent perules, red, white, or pink and glabrous corolla, the 3-5 celled ovary and the 3-5 longer connate styles. This very interesting species was discovered at the altitude of 1,800-2,700 meters is Weining county in western part of Guizhou province. Some of it fine qualities are insusceptibility of diseases and endurance of cold weather and poor, dry soil. Oil content of the seed keruel is 43-54% by dry weight, but commercial yield is only 24-30% when the native press was used, but higher. The oil is of good quality and as delicious as that from C. oleifera Abel.
