Abstract
AbstractVarious names have been used for Assam tea and they are typified here. The currently widely used name, Camellia sinensis var. assamica, is a combination based on Thea viridis var. assamica, not “T. assamica” because the latter was never validly published. Two earlier published names, C. theifera and T. cochinchinensis, and two later ones, C. tenuistipa and T. yersinii, may represent the same taxon and are treated as synonyms of T. viridis var. assamica because the latter has priority at the rank of variety and therefore is the correct name for Assam tea.
