Camellia reticulata, Subgenus Camellia, Sect. Camellia, Subsect. Reticulata Chang, Acta Sci. Nat. Univ. Sunyatseni, monogr. ser. 1: 56. 1981. Ser. Reticulatae Chang, Acta Sci. Nat. Univ.

[Description] Leaves elliptic, 10 cm long, serrate, sometimes slightly obtuse. Bracts and sepals 10; petals 5-7, 5-6 cm long. Because of the narrow leaves and light red flowers of some wild forms of this species, they are confused with C. pitardii. The latter has comparatively smaller or narrower leaves with sharper serrations and shorter flowers. C. heterophylla is a cultivated variety of C. reticulata. Rounded leaf forms are often seenin cultivated varieties as can be seen in Zhang Yingbo 105. This species has a long history of cultivation, and many cultivars have beenmaintained by vegetative propagation. Seedlings grown from these cultivars often revert to the original form.

Flowers are rose pink, 6.6-10.5 cm in diameter, borne singly at the tips of shoots and in leaf axils. Perules 7-10, partially persistent, pubescent on both surfaces. Petals 6-9, 5.1-6.8 cm long, 3.7-4.4 cm wide, obovate or obcordate in shape, cleft at the tip from4-10 mm, fused with the staminal column up to 15 mm from the base. And roecium glabrous, 3.5-3.8 cm long, outer layer of stamens fusedcm long, approximately 130 stamens. Gynoecium 3.7-4.1 cm long, 3-5 mostly glabrous styles, more than one-half fused from the base, ovary tomentose. Blooming season: midwinter to early spring. Capsules oblate and indented at the tip, 2.3-3.6 cm long, 2.5-4A cm in diameter, surface rough and scaling, 3-5 locules, pericarp wall 4-8 mm in thickness. Leaves elliptic to broadly elliptic, tip acuminate, base cuneate, 5.6-11.0 cm long, 2.0-3.9 cm wide, margin serrulate, upper surface with midrib and lateral veins impressed, glabrous, lower surface with midrib and lateral veins raised, variably slightly villous. Petiole6-11 mm long, glabrous. Shrub or small tree up to 15 m tall, young shoots glabrous, older branches smooth and gray in color. Distribution: Open woodlands or deforested areas in Yunnan Province.

滇山茶Camellia reticulata Lindi, in Bot. Reg. t. 1078, 1872. 张宏达，1981. 《山茶属植物的系统研究》第68页。【标本】云南：朱太平535；张英伯105； G.Forrest 9596, 12133；刘慎谔15313；腾冲，冯国楣30002-30048；张宏达5115，5116，5137。【形态特征】这个种的叶椭圆形，长10厘米，锯齿尖，有时稍钝，苞及萼片10,花瓣5-7，长5-6厘米。它的窄叶类型及一些野生的淡红花植株和西南红山茶C.pitardii容易 混淆，后者叶较小或较窄，锯齿尖锐，花较短小。C. heterophylla Hu只是一个栽培变型，所谓基部圆形的异型叶，可在张英伯105号标本找到，这种变异在栽培的植株上亦经常出现。这个种久经栽培，在人工无性繁殖的选育下，形成了大量品种。从某些品种中结成的果实采得种子的实生苗，往往出现返祖现象。
