茶(Camellia sinensis O.Kuntz.)作为栽培植物为人类所利用以来,已有2000多年的历史。在茶树起源的研究中,过去以“二元说”非常盛行,他们从茶的两大分类(温带地区的小叶种和热带地区的大叶种)推断原产地也各不相同。但是,笔者借助多变量解析中的数值分类法,用“群集”,分析的手法进行解析的结果,推断中国的云南、四川是茶树起源的中心地,主张“一元说”(1978年)。

Camellia sinensis O. Kuntz. Has been used as a cultivated plant for human beings for more than 2,000 years. In the study of the origins of the tea tree, “dualism” was the prevailing practice in the past. They deduced that the origin was different from the two major categories of tea (leaflet in temperate regions and large-leaved species in tropical regions). However, with the help of the numerical classification in multivariate analysis and the results of “cluster” and analytical techniques, we conclude that Yunnan, Sichuan, is the center of the origin of tea trees and advocate “one yuan theory” (1978).
