Camellia langbianensis

Camellia langbianensis is a rare shrub or small tree from montane rainforest on the Da Lat (Lang Biang) Plateau of southern Vietnam, known from a single historic specimen. It is not in cultivation, so it is grown only by specialist collectors, and its needs are inferred from its wild habitat and related camellias.
