AB -Two new species of <i>Camellia</i> section <i>Bidoupia</i> are described and illustrated as new for science <i>Camellia lienthuongiae</i> and <i>C. danhducii</i>. Both species share morphological similarities with <i>C. inusitata</i>, such as a single, branchless trunk, but clearly differ in leaf size and shape, larger flowers, shorter pedicels, bracteoles, petals, and sepals, as well as ovary and style indumentum. This study provides formal taxonomic descriptions, comparative morphological analyses with related species, and detailed illustrations of floral structures.
