Theaceae, the tea family of plants in the order Theales. The Theaceae comprises about 40 genera of trees or shrubs native to temperate and tropical regions of both hemispheres, including several ornamental plants, one that is the source of tea.

Theaceae is a family of angiosperms, commonly referred to as the tea family. It includes approximately 35 genera and 200-300 species of trees and shrubs. The family is distributed primarily in tropical and subtropical regions, with some species found in temperate regions.

Theaceae are found throughout warm-temperate, subtropical, and tropical forests; they are most diverse in the Old World in numbers of genera and species.

In the wild, this specimen can grow up to 60' high, much larger than the mature landscape tree which ranges from 20-40' high. The outstanding, multi-colored bark is rich and flaking, ranging from soft grays and browns to orangish brown. There are …

2020年12月31日 · Theaceae, widely known as the Tea family, encompasses a remarkable assemblage of shrubs and trees, with the tea plant and ornamental camellias among its most familiar members. With approximately 40 genera within its ranks, this family presents a diverse array of botanical treasures.

The Theaceae consist of trees and shrubs, rarely lianas, usually with unicellular trichomes. The leaves are simple, entire or toothed, usually spiral, exstipulate, evergreen. The inflorescence is of solitary, axillary flowers or a raceme or panicle.

For understanding the evolutionary history and dynamics of species diversity in Theaceae, a robust phylogenetic framework based on 1785 low-copy and 79,103 multi-copy nuclear genes from 91 tea plant genomes and transcriptome datasets had been reconstructed.

2022年1月1日 · The genus Camellia (Family: Theaceae) is a tea plant formed of many species which includes C. reticulata, C. sinensis, C. oleifera and C. japonica. This genus is named after Rev. George Kamel, a jesuit missionary.

Theaceae are found throughout warm-temperate, subtropical, and tropical forests; they are most diverse in the Old World in numbers of genera and species.

About 19 genera and 600 species: tropical and subtropical Africa, tropical America, E, S, and SE Asia, SE North America, Pacific islands; 12 genera (two endemic) and 274 species (204 endemic) in China. The greatest species diversity of Theaceae is in S China and adjacent SE Asia.
