Camellia sp. 



Chiengmai, Doi Sootep, 1200-1700 m., Kerr, 889, Hosseus, 180. 



Lao name, Mieng Pa (ex Kerr). 



Hosseus, ii. p. 413, determines this plant as Thea japonica, Linn., 

 forma. In Kew Bull. 1911, p. 16, the writer referred it to 

 C. drupifera, Lour. After further examination of the specimens 

 quoted and a comparison with the material in Herb. Kew the writer 

 has failed to match it absolutely with any specimen in the 

 Herbarium, and considering the rather involved state of the 

 synonymy within the genus, he prefers to leave the identification 

 doubtful.

A portion of Kerr's 1067 was sent to Calcutta Herbarium, and 

 was compared with the material there by Mr. W. W. Smith, who 

 remarks that it agrees well with the Burmese specimens referred to 

 D. costatus by the late Sir George King. Through lack of 

 material, Dyer, in the Flora of British India, I.e., reduced this 

 species to D. alatus, and Brandis, for the same reason, while 

 enumerating it as a distinct species, seems to indicate that it is not 

 a very satisfactory species. The receipt of good material shows, 

 however, that it is a well-marked species, and quite distinct from 

 D. alatus.
