What are the new varieties of camellia in China?

Camellia is deeply loved by people all over the country. To make people's interest in it last forever, we must constantly introduce new varieties. At present, hundreds of new varieties of camellia can be introduced into the world every year. So how many new varieties of camellia are there in China?

Let's talk about the new varieties of Yunnan Nanshan tea first. Since 1950s, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences has continuously selected 34 new varieties from seedlings for many years. 1973 began to study the selection of excellent single plants with ornamental value from a camellia oleifera forest to cultivate new varieties. After years of continuous observation, in the process of exploring the pattern change, 39 new varieties with different shapes were selected from the existing horticultural varieties. In the early 1980s, it was found that some rare fine varieties appeared in woodland in a large area, especially the rare double-petal white varieties. After continuous screening, * * * bred a new variety 16 with stable characters and meeting the variety requirements. From 1970s to the middle and late 1980s, the Botanical Garden of Kunming Institute of Botany selected 50 new varieties of Yunnan Nanshan tea from Camellia oleifera forest. Among them, there are 2 species of morning glory, 28 species of lotus, 5 species of butterfly wings/kloc-0, 0 species of rose/kloc-0, 0 species of radiation/kloc-0, and 3 species of peony. 199 1 At the "Yunnan Nanshan Tea Variety Identification Meeting" held in Tengchong in, 10 camellia experts identified and passed 62 new tea varieties in Yunnan, including Mudankui, Xuejiao, Flower Soul, Pentagon Ball, Jiao Yan, Jin Huan, Yunv, Chunhui, Yancao and Yalan. Due to variation and evolution, Tengchong Camellia has formed many natural types. According to their years of investigation, there are more than 100 natural types. After breeding, rare new varieties, such as Tiangaole, Yin Hong, Jinhong, Qiaoqiao, Guiyetongcao, Peony Hate, Flower Soul, Peony Kui, and Jiao Yan, have been cultivated. There are also some unique new types, such as Qiaoqiao, Yingqiao, Jingjing, Qionglian, white and silver-red pine nut shells, as well as exotic golden rings and red ribbons, light singing and dancing, five-star hydrangea, beautiful, discerning, morning glow, Yin Ji and Guanghan fairies. 10 In 988, Chuxiong City Construction Committee selected10 new varieties of Yunnan tea from Lucheng, Yanzi and Guomei. According to statistics, there are 16 1 new varieties of Nanshan tea in Yunnan.

Let's talk about the new varieties of camellia in Sichuan. There are not many new varieties of Sichuan tea, most of which are new varieties obtained by natural hybridization of Sichuan tea varieties that can bear fruit. Red flag ginseng is a new variety cultivated by flower farmer Chen in Zaojiao Garden of Shifang. 1964 was presented to the American garden community and planted in the American Botanical Garden, which is known as the sister flower of the famous American camellia "Kelin 40". Camellia breeder Chen Yisheng is committed to the cultivation of new varieties of Camellia. He bred and popularized seven new varieties: 1982 bred a precious white camellia variety named "white silk", with huge, translucent and wrinkled flowers like white silk; 1983, after he sowed the seeds of "Chongningpao" camellia, he got the mutant "Zhaoxia", the flower 10 cm, magenta, like the sun in the sunrise; Rongxing Tea was planted in 1982, and the new seedlings blossomed in 1989. The pattern is steady, the color is deep red, and the pattern is quiet and solemn, so shifang city Camellia Association takes this name to commemorate Mr. Chen. "Pink Lotus" 1983 was sown, and 190 blossomed. Flower size 10 cm, pink, petals 100 ~ 120, with pointed petals and lotus-shaped edges. "Fangtingchun" 1982 sowing, 1990 flowering. Its leaves are as wide and round as peony tea, red, with outer petals 15 ~ 25 and the top bent downward. The inner petal is 15 short petal mixed with a large number of stamens. "Juanyehong" is a selection of camellia seedlings purchased by 1985. The leaf tip and edge are over-rolled, with red flowers, 20 outer petals, flat, 10 ~ 15 inner petals with stamens.

There are many new varieties of camellia in East China. Mr. Huang of Shanghai has attached great importance to the cultivation of new varieties of Camellia oleifera all his life. He is over 90 years old and still raises fish on his balcony. /kloc-0. In March, 984, it was cross-pollinated with Yang Fei and Jiangnan camellia autumn peony drunk with Sichuan tea. The fruits were harvested in June of that year, sowed and germinated in February of the following year, and 1990 blossomed one after another, and three sister species were cultivated: Dagong Powder, Yulouchun and Magnolia Officinalis. 1997, the first generation of camellia was bred by crossing camellia with its ancestor, Huang Hainan Baozhu, and the photo appeared on the cover of Camellia magazine in the United States. Xu Biyu, an engineer and professor of landscape architecture in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, conducted camellia oleifera breeding in 1987- 1998. In the past ten years, 52 combinations have been bred, of which 25 combinations bear fruit, and 202 seeds have been collected to breed seedlings 124 plants, and five new hybrid varieties of Liuxia and Xishan Zhu Bao have been bred. Among them, Xishan Bai Yurong won the New Variety Award in the 4th China Camellia Exhibition. Since 1986, three new varieties, Huameihong, Furong and Yudan, have been cultivated by grafting mutation and budding. 1998 passed the appraisal of Jinhua Municipal Science and Technology Commission in March, and was awarded the certificate by the State Forestry Department. In 1988, Tang, a producer of camellia chrysantha, found that the leaves of several camellia varieties were irregular, broken fan-shaped and had a circle of yellow edges. After several years of cultivation, the leaf shape and yellow edge were stable, and the flower pattern and color changed, and two new varieties, Tianxiaqi and Ren Xia, were bred. 1In March, 987, Ge and Ge Yunfeng, camellia lovers in Fenghua, Ningbo, accidentally discovered a mutant flower that opened on a white 18-year-old camellia tree. After several generations of asexual reproduction and breeding, they have cultivated a double-column flower with stable pattern. This new variety also won the New Variety Award of the 4th Camellia Exhibition in China. Lu Shihua, a retired teacher from Jinhua No.3 Middle School, has carried out interspecific hybridization breeding of camellia and camellia for more than 20 years and cultivated more than 30 new varieties.

He, the producer of Camellia chrysantha, cultivated a new variety of foliage camellia with "colorful leaves, red, green and true" and won the New Variety Award of the Fifth National Camellia Exhibition. It is worth mentioning that Mr. Wang Dazhuang, a China camellia breeder in the United States, has lived in the United States for more than 40 years, and cultivating new varieties of fragrant tea and camellia is his main goal. The new camellia variety he cultivated will be registered in China. He came to China to give lectures many times, and also brought his Putuozhiguang, Pan Yujinhua, Suzhou and Hangzhou Jinsi, butterfly lovers, Xizi Xianghe, Dianchi Butterfly Dance, Dragon and Fire Beads, Big Sister and Second Sister to China. Now there are many camellia breeding enthusiasts who have produced many new varieties of camellia, so I won't talk about it here.
