Camellia species are evergreen trees or shrubs. Leaves simple, alternate or rarely subopposite, lanceolate-ovate to oblanceolate-oblong, base acute to obtuse, margins serrate, rarely entire, apex acute to acuminate, coriaceous, membranous to leathery, midrib impressed above and prominent beneath, petiolate, sessile or amplexicaul, exstipulate. Inflorescence axillary or subterminal, solitary or fascicled. Flowers bisexual, pedicel short or sessile, bracteoles persistent or caducous, sepals 5-6, imbricate, unequal, base connate, differentiated from the bracts towards petals, petals 5-8, imbricate, red, yellow, base shortly connate, stamens numerous, in 2-6 partially connate to form ring or tube, unequal, 5-12 towards the centre free, base adnate to petals, anthers dorsifixed, 2 loculed, dehiscing by longitudinally or laterally, ovary superior, globose, 3-5 locular, axile placentation, ovules 3-5 in each locule, style 3-5, base free or partially connate. Fruit capsule, globose, woody, usually 1 loculed because of abortion or sometimes more, with persistent central axis. Seeds subglobose-ovoid or angular, embryo thick, erect, exalbuminous and with high oil content.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Camellia species flowers are complete, bisexual, i.e., with functional male (androecium) and female (gynoecium), including stamens, carpels and ovary. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects, or cleistogamy i.e., by self or allogamy i.e., by cross pollination. Flowering/Fruiting: June—January.
