The seed of 11 Camellia plants were selected as material and their grain traits, fatty acid composi- tion and vitamin E content were studied in this paper. The results showed that the thousand seed weight, oil length of kernel, kernel percent of dry seed and oil length of dry seed on seed of Camellia species were different signifi- cantly. The oil length of dry seed in Camellia chekiangoleosa was highest,containing 38.17% ,and Camellia vietna- mensis was the least, containing 20.24%. The major fatty acid composition was same, which included oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic ...
