Gene bank of Camellia japonica

Camellia garden is a rare gene bank of Camellia

As the largest scientific research base at home and abroad for the preservation and research of the world's rare flower and tree Camellia japonica, yuanzhongyuan - Camellia japonica gene bank has created good conditions for the systematic and comprehensive research of Camellia japonica. A number of native trees of Camellia chrysantha are preserved in the park, and some rare camellia varieties from the United States, Canada, Japan and other countries are introduced, such as "Baojing Camellia" in Vietnam and "peacock toon" in Japan. More than 7000 plants of 105 varieties, such as camellia, camellia, Camellia oleifera, and potable tea, are planted in the park at the same time.

In the blooming season, the trees are full of flowers, which are as bright as gold. It is a rare flower tree species in winter. Because it is the only species with golden flowers in the camellia family, it is especially precious in a wide variety of Camelliaceae plants. It has the reputation of "tea Queen" and is known as "giant panda in the plant world". Jinhua tea gene bank is the largest scientific research base for the preservation and research of Jinhua tea at home and abroad. It was established in 1981. 22 original and hybrid species of Jinhua tea, including Fangcheng Jinhua tea, Tanluo Jinhua tea and Dongxing Jinhua tea, were collected and planted in the bank. More than 5000 plants of Jinhua tea were cultivated. In recent years, 5 new species were cultivated, bringing the number of Jinhua tea varieties in the gene bank to 27.

The establishment of gene bank not only effectively protected the germplasm resources of Camellia chrysantha, but also created a good condition for the systematic and comprehensive study of Camellia chrysantha and the further development and utilization of Camellia chrysantha. The gene bank was identified by the Ministry of forestry in 1987, won the first prize of science and technology progress of the Ministry of forestry in 1989 and the second prize of national science and technology progress in 1990.

Camellia District

Looking across from the gate of the gene bank, the dense and well-developed area is the camellia area of the park. Camellia is one of the ten famous traditional flowers in China. In addition to the tea queen Jinhua tea, there are 150 varieties of Camellia from East China and Yunnan. There are more than 100 Camellia in the park, such as "crown", "Eighteen Bachelor" and "snow tower". "Peony" and so on.

Camellia

Camellia japonica is a member of Camellia sect. Camellia of Theaceae. It was first discovered in Guangxi in the early 1960s. It is a precious and rare ornamental plant and planting resource in the world, mainly produced in China and Vietnam. Camellia group plants are only distributed in the south of Guangxi in China. There are 23 taxa reported in the world, among which 21 are endemic in China and 19 are endemic. Four taxa are listed as the first and second class protected plants in China.

Camellia is a kind of golden camellia. Camellia in the world are usually white, bright red, pink, two-color, emerald green and so on. Among the 22 kinds of Yellow Camellia found so far, 18 are only distributed in southern Guangxi, and the golden camellia is the most precious. Therefore, when China discovered in the 1960s that it was indeed produced in the south of Guangxi, it immediately caused the surprise of the world. Its petals are waxy, transparent and gorgeous. It is indeed a rare flower in the world and is designated as a national protected plant. Jinhua tea park has the largest Jinhua tea gene pool park in China and even in the world. It was completed and opened in December 1995, with a planning area of 250000 square meters. There are a number of original camellia trees in the park. In the meantime, the "Empress of tea clan" has a panoramic view.

Camellia chrysantha is not only a traditional famous flower of Chinese specialty, but also a world-famous ornamental plant. According to statistics, there are about 220 species in total. There should be more than thousands of varieties through natural hybridization and artificial cultivation. But before, people did not see the kind of golden color. In 1960, Chinese scientists first discovered a golden camellia in Nanning, Guangxi, which was named Camellia chrysantha. The discovery of Camellia chrysantha has caused a sensation in horticultural circles all over the world, and has been highly valued by horticulturists at home and abroad. It is considered that it is an excellent raw material for breeding golden camellia varieties.

Camellia belongs to Theaceae, camellia, camellia, camellia, camellia, camellia, Camellia as twin sisters. Camellia chrysantha is an evergreen shrub or small tree, 2-6m high, with gray white and smooth bark. Leaves alternate, broadly lanceolate to oblong.

Golden Camellia bud in bud

Camellia chrysantha likes warm and humid climate. It mostly grows in shady slopes and gullies with loose soil and good drainage. It often lives together with plants such as mahogany, acacia, acanthopanax, Phoebe and Liriodendron. Because its natural distribution is extremely narrow, it only grows in Yongning County, Nanning City, Guangxi Province, which is 100-200 meters above sea level in low hills, and its number is very limited, so it is listed as the first-class protected plant in China. In order to make this national treasure flourish, Chinese scientists are working together to carry out cross breeding experiments in order to cultivate better varieties. It has been introduced and cultivated in Kunming, Hangzhou and Shanghai of China.

Camellia also has high economic value. In addition to ornamental, the flowers can also be used as medicine to treat hematochezia and menorrhagia. They can also be used as edible dyes. In addition to making tea as a drink, the leaves also have medicinal value, which can be used to cure dysentery and wash out ulcers. The wood is hard and compact, which can be used to carve exquisite handicrafts and other utensils. In addition, its seeds can also be used as raw materials of lubricating oil and other solvents for oil pressing, edible or industrial use.
