Abstract:

This study used 90 Camellia sasanqua varieties(38 from the common Camellia sasanqua group,40 from the winter Camellia sasanqua group,and 12 from the spring Camellia sasanqua group)cultivated in the Hangzhou resource nursery as test materials. The 16 biological traits of these 90 Camellia sasanqua varieties were continuously observed. Using the analytic hierarchy process(AHP),a comprehensive evaluation model for the ornamental effects of Camellia sasanqua was established from three dimensions:resistance,ornamental traits,and plant traits,to screen out new varieties of Camellia sasanqua with superior ornamental effects in autumn and winter in Hangzhou. The evaluation results indicated that 90 Camellia sasanqua varieties were divided into 4 levels,14 varieties in level Ⅰ,42 varieties in level Ⅱ,24 varieties in level Ⅲ,and only 10 varieties in level Ⅳ.

Key words: Camellia sasanqua, analytic hierarchy process(AHP), comprehensive evaluation, ornamental effect
