There is only one fpecies of this plant ; ; the Piitee of 
green and bohea Tea depending upon the nature of the foil, 
the culture, and manner of drying the leaves. It has even 
been obferved, that a ercen Tea-tree, planted in the bohea 
country, will produce bahea Tea, and fo the contrary *. 
1 Whether the word Ts is borrowed from the Japanefe Tsjaa, or the Chinefe: 
Theb, is not of much importance. By this name, with very little difference in pio 
nunciation, the plant here treated of is well known in moft parts of the world. 
2 I have examined feveral hundred flowers, both from the bohea and’ green Tea 
countries, and their botanical characters have always appeared uniform. See Di-- 
rections for bringing over feeds and plants from diftant countries, by John Ellis, Efq. 
Sir George Staunton’s Embaffy, Vol II. p. 464, fays, ‘* Every information received. 
«* concerning the Tea plant concurred in affirming that its qualities depended upon. - 
<¢ the foil in which it grew, and the age at which the eaves. were plucked off the” 
« tree, as well as upon the managemerit of them afterwards.’ “
