Camellia japonica, known as common camellia,[2] or Japanese camellia, is a species of Camellia, a flowering plant genus in the family Theaceae. There are thousands of cultivars of C. japonica in cultivation, with many colors and forms of flowers. Despite its common name, it is native to China, not Japan. The cultivation of Camellia japonica also started in China. Its widespread cultivation can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, when 15 varieties of Camellia japonica were recorded in literature. It was later introduced to Japan.[3] It grows in forests, at altitudes of around 300–1,100 metres (980–3,600 ft).[4]
The leaves of this species are rich in anti-inflammatory terpenoids such as lupeol and squalene.[5]
