[ CAMELLIA RESEARCH ] .................... Research

Our aim with this webpage is to present topics of interest to the camellia world.  Some of this can be new research.  Some, by contrast, may be research done decades ago, but the conclusions of which are still valid. 

We can see no particular point in "reinventing the wheel" -- better to know what has been done in the past, and go from there, either in the same direction or perhaps in other, potentially more productive directions.  These papers may even inspire research projects that can find seed-money support from the ICS Otomo Fund.

I will welcome all suggestions for reprints, with the details of who to contact, to authorize our reprints. 

I am very grateful, for example, to the editors of the American Journal of Botany, published by the Botanical Society of America, for permission to reprint our inaugural paper on camellia chimeras.  This subject occupied much discussion a few years back on the Yahoo Camellia Group chatroom, moderated by Jose Almandoz.  We hope people are still interested in these botanical rarities, and that we can expand our offerings about chimeras, and broaden our offerings into other research subjects.
