message: [cross posted to Tea]
There is a note in Curtis's 4275 (1847) on the attempts to smuggle the plant and seed into England. 
Many are the disappointments and delays of Science! It was not till after Tea had been used as a beverage for upwards of a century in England, that the shrub which produces it was brought alive to this country. More than one botanist had embarked for the voyage to China,–till lately a protracted and formidable undertaking,–mainly in the hope of introducing a growing Tea-tree in our Greenhouses. No passage across the Desert, no Waghorn-facilities, no steam-ship, assisted the traveller in those days. The distance to and from China, with the necessary time spent in that country, generally consumed nearly three years! Once had the Tea-tree been procured by Osbeck, pupil of Linnaeus, in spite of the jealous care with which the Chinese forbade its exportation; and, when near the coast of England, a storm ensued, which destroyed the precious shrubs. Then, the plan of obtaining berries was adopted, and frustrated by the heat of the tropics, which spoiled the oily seeds and prevented their germination. The Captain of a Swedish vessel hit upon a good scheme; having secured fresh berries, he sowed these on board ship, and often stinted himself of his daily allowance of water, for the sake of the young plants; but just as the ship entered the channel, an unlucky rat attacked his cherished charge and devoured them all! ... the facilities of communicating with foreign countries are very different now from what they were in the days of Linnæus and of the first importation of the Tea-Shrub!
I see several facts that could be included, if someone elects to improve the article they might be able to verify these with other sources. cygnis insignis 10:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

message: For example, which varieties have red flowers? Which can be grown in containers? How are they cultivated?
Nothing on the opium-tea trade. (By the way, there is no such thing as a "native" variety of Assamese tea, all come from China which forbade the export of the plants and seeds, the major cause of the so-called "Opium War" -- The Chinese used its tea monopoly to drain the world of silver, but refused to buy anything but opium. After they addicted the British to tea, Chinese officials destroyed the opium, forcing the British to fight or drink coffee. They fought.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.111.71.197 (talk) 04:11, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Very Primitive Article

message: Would it not be ðe case ðat Linnæus named it Þea sinensis, and Kuntze shifted it to ðe Camellia genus?  Ðe story given at Camellia siensis#Nomenclature and taxonomy does not seem consistent wiþ ðe auþority given in ðe name of Camellia sinensis (L.)  Kuntze, which seems to imply Linnæus first named it someþing oðer ðan Camellia.  Or did I read it wrong?

thread_title:  Binomial name authority and history 

message: The tea plant is referred to as Thea, not Camellia, in the book: "All tea is grown from one species of shrub, Thea, the leaves of which constitute the tea of commerce. ... First-quality tea is made from young, whole leaves. Two kinds of tea are considered:- Black tea, made from leaves which have been allowed to ferment before curing. Green tea, made from unfermented leaves artificially colored." 198.151.130.37 (talk) 03:50, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

message: In this sentence, in the cultivation section, "Two principal varieties are used, the small-leaved Chinese variety plant (C. sinensis sinensis) and the large-leaved Assamese plant (C. sinensis assamica), used mainly for black tea" the comma makes it a bit hard to tell if both varieties are used for black tea or just the second one.

message: While Camellia Sinensis is obviously most important for its use in producing tea this page really needs more botanical information. Especially about the growth (size etc.) of the plant when it is NOT being cultivated for tea (or is 'wild' cultivated as in some pu-erh production where the tea is harvested from trees which are not pruned and are grown mixed with other plants in a semi-natural state). For example, the article says that the tree is usually pruned to about 2m for ease of picking, but not what height they would reach if they were not pruned. Please someone with better information on this add it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.56.234.119 (talk) 02:14, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs more botanical information 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Camellia sinensis's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:27, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
