This program was shown in Table 1 and the collection localities of 'yamacha' were shown in Fig. 1 and Table 2. 'Yamacha', which is a Japanese wild tea, can be found throughout the mountainous regions in Honshu, Kyusyu and Sikoku districts. There are two hypotheses regarding the origin of 'yamacha'. One is the introduction from mainland of China, and the other is a Japanese origin. It seems that 'yamacha' has some useful characteristics on flavor, cold hardiness, insect resistance and disease resistance, because they have grown in specific points of each region for a great many years. We have experimented to use 'yamacha' for tea breedmg for a long time. We have to make an expedition for collecting 'yamacha' still more, because it has not be fully collected and examined. Scions and seeds of 'yamacha' collected will be brought up in field for several years after grown in propagation bed or in pots for one or two years. Then, they will be selected based on primary and secondary characteristics. Selected individuals will be transplanted to the preservation field and stock as genetic resources of tea}, pages = {83--86}, title = {熊本県及び宮崎県山間部におけるヤマチャの収集, 野菜・茶試, 1989年}, volume = {6}, year = {1990}, yomi = {ネスミ, アツシ and セキヤ, ナオマサ} }
