Best Answer

Georg Joseph Kamel is credited with originally finding the Camellia in the Philippines, which was named in his honour by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus. However, they are found all over southern Asia, from the Himalaya to Japan and Indonesia. Research suggests that they may have been cultivated in China some 5,000 years ago, long before Kamel set eyes on it.
