Notes#
Native to 罗岩美庄, Huqiu town, with more than 100 years of cultivation (cultivar record). The Anxi government gives an eight-month growth period. A 2018 list of the first national batch (1984) omits Huangdan, but its number falls between Tieguanyin (GS13007) and Benshan (GS13010); the omission is probably an error in the list.
