• Premise of the study: Microsatellite markers were developed in Camellia nitidissima for further population genetic studies. • Methods and Results: Eight microsatellite markers were newly developed from C. nitidissima and 7 were transferred from other Camellia species. Two to 13 alleles per locus were identified for these microsatellites. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.040 to 0.909, and 0.184 to 0.916, respectively. Four loci showed a significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and five locus pairs displayed linkage disequilibrium. • Conclusions: These microsatellite markers will be useful to assess the genetic variation and genetic structure of C. nitidissima .
