Abstract: The genus Camellia includes some 82 species which are mostly indigenous to highlands of south-east India (Sealy, 1958). Tea is the most important of all Camellia spp. both commercially and taxonomically. Since all Camellia spp. do not produce the brew that goes into the cup that cheers (Banerjee, 1988a), taxonomy plays a major role in the identification of true teas among the Camellia spp. for commercial exploitation. Many non-tea species of Camellia are however used as ornamental plants.
