Description

Camellia punctata (Kochs) Cohen Stuart (1916: 66)

Thea punctata Kochs (1900: 584).

Type:— CHINA. Sichuan [Szechuan]: near Kangding [Tachienlu], 9000–13500 ft., December 1890, A.E. Pratt 817 (lectotype designated here: K000380528!; isolectotypes: BM000611975!, E00284412!), Fig.1A.

= Camellia renshanxiangiae C.X.Ye & X.Q.Zheng (2001: 160), syn. nov.

Type:— CHINA. Guangdong: Guangzhou, cultivated in the campus of Sun Yat-sen University, introduced from Yangshan, 10 March 2000, C.X. Ye 5904 (holotype SYS00094790!; isotypes SYS00094786!, SYS00094787!, SYS00094788!, SYS00094789!, PE01598414!), Fig. 1B.

Nomenclatural notes

Kochs (1900) cited a single gathering A.E. Pratt 817 in the protologue of Thea punctata, while, the corresponding herbarium was not specified. Three duplicates of this gathering were found in herbaria BM, E and K. The duplicate at K (000380528) with dissected flowers is in better condition, so it is selected as the lectotype.

Cohen-Stuart (1916) transferred Thea punctata into Camellia on the page 66 in ‘ Mededeelingen van het Proefstation voor Thee ’, while Sealy (1958) misquoted the page number as 68, which was followed by subsequent scholars, such as Chang (1981), Chang & Bartholomew (1984), Chang & Ren (1998), Ming (2000), Ming & Bartholomew (2007).
