Abstract

Wight and Barua1 have shown that pellucid punctations of leaves, caused by sclereids, indicate species hybrids of tea (Camellia sinensis L.). On this criterion certain cultivated tea populations popularly known as China hybrid are supposed to have had either Camellia irrawadiensis (P. K. Barua) or another similarly punctate Camellia as one possible progenitor.
