This is a chinese Camellia, hardly cultivated, and an endangered species. Formerly found in large colonies in southern China, the population has decreased a lot in the last decades, and now they are in serious risk.

The leaves are large, dark green and shiny on the upper page, and pale green on the lower one. The white flowers are very big, can be even 6 inches across! They atract local and foreign collectors that donīt worry about planting it to have more flowers to sell...
