Six species and two varieties of yellow Camellia were analyzed
using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) genetic markers. Fourteen decanucletide primers were used for DNA amplification
173 markers generating. The genetic marker data were analyzed using Jaccard’s similarity coefficients. A dendrogram was constructed by using UPGMA method. The results are in agreement with the views of that Cnitidissima has a very close relationship with Cnitidissima varphaeopubisperma. It also indicates that Cnitidissima
Cnitidissima varmicrocarpa and Cmutipetala have a close relationship between each other. Cnitidissima
Ctunghinensis
Cpingguoensis
Cterminalis and Cpubipetala have a distant relationship between each other.
