　　Golden Camellia is an extremely ancient plant with low fruit-setting rates and difficult propagation. It has a very limited distribution area, making it exceptionally rare. It is a rare and precious plant and one of China's eight Class I protected plants. Internationally, it is referred to as the magical Oriental magic tea, and is honored as the "panda of the plant kingdom" and the "queen of the tea family."
