[Aim]  To investigate the impact of differences in floral structure on the behavior of pollinators of Camellia oleifera, an important woody, edible, oil plant in China, in order to develop improved varieties of this plant. [Methods]  From October to November 2022, four C. oleifera plantations in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, were selected to study the impact of differences in floral structure on pollinator behavior. Observations and statistical analyses were conducted on 168 samples of flower-visiting insects and 11 floral traits. Correlation and linear regression analyses were used to analyze the data. [Results]  Primary flower-visiting included 750 visits by Colletes gigas, 144 by Andrena camellia, 125 by Vespidae species, and 2 359 by Syrphinae species. Eleven C. oleifera flowers were measured. These had 5 to 9 petals with a display area of (30.09±9.37) cm². The pistil was centrally located among the stamens, with a superior ovary measuring (4.03±0.52) mm, a stigma with 2 to 5 lobes, a stigma length of (9.59±1.87) mm, and a stigma style diameter of (1.02±0.19) mm. The outer diameter of the stamen cluster was (17.47±3.65) mm, with a height of about (14.46±2.09) mm and approximately (99.85±17.53) stamens. The stigma was (0.87±2.37) mm lower than the stamens, with a lateral distance of (1.33±1.33) mm. Correlation and linear regression reveal a highly significant, positive correlation between the number of pollinator visits and floral area, stamen cluster diameter and stamen quantity (P<0.01), a significant positive correlation with stigma height difference (P<0.05), and a significant negative correlation with lateral distance (P<0.05). The regression equations were as follows: Floral area: y=8.832 63+0.373 88x (P=0.001<0.01)；Stamen diameter: y=1.338 68+1.07 5 91x (P=0.001<0.01)；Stamen number: y=1.31 108+0.1 893x (P=0.005<0.01)；Height differential between stigma and the stamens: y=7.329 16+0.825 38x (P=0.486<0.05)；Lateral distance between stigma and the stamens: y=9.667 94-1.217 09x (P=0.285<0.05). [Conclusion]  Pollinators of C. oleifera prefer flowers with a larger floral area, larger stamen clusters, more stamens, and relatively concentrated structures. These results offer insights for breeding C. oleifera varieties that are more attractive to pollinators.
