To breed new yellow flowered camellias, Camellia chrysantha var. chlysantha and var. microcarpa were adopted to cross with 9 other Camellia species. Thirteen embryos obtained from 247 pollinations were cultured on Anderson’s medium. Six of them developed to plantlets, but only 3 survived after habituation. Two plants were from C. crapnelliana and 1 from C. granthamiana, both crossed with C. chrysantha var. microcarpa. Morphological and isozyme studies confirmed them truly interspecific.
