Abstract: The taxonomic position of Sect. Chrysantha H. T. Chang was discussed here. C. chrysantha ( Hu) Tuyama and C. nitidissima Chi were further reduced to C. petelotii (Merr.) Sealy. Sect. Chrysantha H. T. Chang was the first time transfered to Sect. Archecamellia Sealy. . Some species of Sect. Chrysantha were revised and various incorrect determination was discussed with distribution record. 16 species and 3 varieties were determined in Sect. Archecamellia.

Key words: Camellia

摘要: 本文重点讨论金花茶组Sect.Chrysantha H.T.Chang的分类学位置。通过对金花茶C.chrysantha(Hu)Tuyama、亮叶离蕊茶C.nitidissima Chi和分布于越南北部的多瓣山茶C.petelotii(Merr.)Sealy的模式标本和原始材料的研究考订,确认金花茶的拉丁名称应进一步更正为C.petelolii(Merr.)Sealy.对古茶组Sect.Archecamellia Sealy和金花茶组的特征性状的比较分析表明,J.R.Sealy[1] 以C.petelotii(Merr.)Sealy为模式建立的古茶组是一个自然类群,金花茶组和J.R.Sealy的古茶组之间分类学特征相同,两组的模式同为一种-C.petelotii, 从而认为金花茶组不能成立,被首次归并到古茶组中。同时认为《山茶属植物的系统研究》一书改变了古茶组的分类学概念和转移了组的模式是不妥的。通过研究,确认古茶组共有16种和3变种,除原古茶组的7种外,包括连蕊茶组Sect.Theopsis中的C.indochinensis和金花茶组中6种和3变种被转移到本组之中,以及本文提出的两个新种。原金花茶组其余16种(包括未正式发表的4种)、2变种和3个变型均作为相应种或变种的同物异名归并。此外,还讨论了各种错误鉴定和有关分化与分布的问题。
