Four newly announced plant species originate from Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park. On the morning of April 18, the Director of Bidoup National Park – Nui Ba, Dr. Le Van Huong informed, three famous international journals specializing in botanicals, including Brittonia, International Camellia Society and Phytotaxa, have just announced four species. New plants for science come from this national park. Of which, two species belong to the genus Tra my (Camellia) and two species belong to the genus Thu Hai Duong (Begonia). According to Dr. Le Van Huong, the new findings are published in prestigious international journals specialized in botanical science, which is the pride of the scientific staff working in Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park (Lam Copper) and associates. According to the announcement, the genus Tra my (Camellia) is the largest genus of the Tea family (Theaceae), with more than 300 species recorded globally. Vietnam and China are the two countries recording the most distribution of species of this genus. In recent years, there have been many new discoveries and announcements of species of this genus, which have significantly added to the national and regional biodiversity. Tea my Bidoup – Camellia bidoupensis (Source: National Park Bidoup-Nui Ba). Two new Tra my species were discovered and announced in the first months of 2021, at Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park, including tiny camellia (Camellia flosculora Curry, VS Le, CQ Truong & VD Luong, sp.nov. ) and Tra my Bidoup (Camellia bidoupensis Truong, Luong & Tran, sp.nov.). Tiny flower tea was first sampled in the dwarf forest on the mountain top in the area of ​​Hon Giao, Bidoup National Park – Nui Ba. This is a small to medium, evergreen tree, 3 to 8 meters high, with oblong and hairy, lanceolate leaves. The tree blooms in September – October, is white, with flower sizes from 0.5 to 0.7cm, this is Tra My with the smallest flower size in the world recorded up to the present time. Little flower tea – Camellia flosculora (Source: Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park). Tea my Bidoup is a small to medium tree, evergreen, from 3 to 7 meters high, the bark is gray-brown. The leaves are round or elliptical wide, 8 to 12cm long, 3.5 to 5.5cm wide, and thick. The tree flowers also in September – October, the flowers are white with chicken fat, 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter.

With Begonia, there are more than 90 species recorded in Vietnam, many species have narrow distribution and endemic. Two species of the begonias recently announced at Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park, Hon Giao (Begonia hongiaoensis CWLin, TCHsu & Luu, sp.nov.) Are named after a mountain mass of biodiversity. Very high in Bidoup National Park – Nui Ba and Thu Hai Duong Dong Road (Begonia lamdongiana CWLin, TCHsu & Luu, sp. nov.).
