Summary

Camellia azalea, native to the Ehuangzhang Provincial Nature Reserve in Yangchun City, Guangdong, China, is a national first-class protected plant in China.

About the genus · Camellia

Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. They are found in tropical and subtropical areas in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. There are more than 220 described species; almost all are found in southern China and Indochina. More on Wikipedia ›

Cultivation

Grouped as a temperate garden plant by the genus Camellia, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: Only 1 distinct land cell of the climate grid holds an in-range record; three are needed for an envelope.

Natural habitat

Native range as published by WCVP; the marker is where the records are densest and decides nothing.

Openly licensed records inside the range, framed on where they fall.

Kew's description“shrub” · “subtropical”· quoted from WCVP, RBG Kew (CC BY 4.0); not derived here

Map marker22.25, 114.05 · in the densest population, 26 records (93% of those in range)

Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 28 georeferenced records inside the native range; the map shows only the 1 openly licensed one, which alone would put the marker 539 km away. 2 records outside the range (gardens, roadsides, misidentifications) ignored. No climate envelope is derived for this species. 27 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km and stay on the map but off the climate.

The map markerthe map marker: the centre of the tenth-degree cell nearest the middle (no openly licensed record lies in the population, so no record's coordinates are published) of the densest 1° population of the 28 in-range records; it decides nothing.
