一、引言野生茶树是栽培茶树的原始种,我国古代劳动人民都是直接采集野生茶叶充当药料并逐步转为饮料的。因此,对于野生茶树资源的发掘与直接或间接利用早已广为重视。本所对于野生茶树资源的调查是从五十年代开始的。通过广泛的调查发掘,证明了在我省闽南、闽西以及闽东北等高山老林中,均有零星分布许多直立高大的乔木大叶型野生茶树。 I. INTRODUCTION Wild tea trees are the original species of cultivated tea trees. The ancient working people in our country collected wild tea directly and used them as medicinal materials and gradually converted them into drinks. Therefore, the discovery of wild tea tree resources and direct or indirect use has long been widely regarded. Our survey of wild tea tree resources began in the 1950s. Through extensive investigation and excavation, it is proved that many tall and tall arborvitae wild tea trees scattered in the mountains of southern Fujian, western Fujian and northeast Fujian are scattered.
