佐佐木茶花于1931年首次被发现。不幸的是，自从第一次发现以来，模式标本已经丢失，没有相关材料可供重新检查。因此，它的身份是可疑的。这种消失已久的茶叶品种今年在台湾南部的坚立山被重新发现。然而，经过仔细比较，C. buisanensis在形态上更类似于Pyrenaria属而不是Camellia。因此，本文将该种作为新组合处理为Pyrenaria buisanensis (Sasaki) C. F. Hsieh， S. Z. Yang和M. H. Su。此外，还提供了台湾飞虫的一把钥匙和一幅画线图。由于其濒危状态，迫切需要非同寻常的恢复努力来拯救这个物种。
Camellia buisanensis Sasaki was first described in 1931. Unfortunately, the type specimen had been lost since its first discovery and there were no relevant materials for re-examination. Therefore, its identity is dubious. This long lost tea species was rediscovered this year at Mt. Jenlishan in southern Taiwan. However, after careful comparison, C. buisanensis is morphologically much more similar to the genus Pyrenaria than to Camellia. Consequently the species is treated as a new combination as Pyrenaria buisanensis (Sasaki) C. F. Hsieh, S. Z. Yang and M. H. Su. Besides taxonomic treatment, historical status of this species is provided here. A key to Taiwanese Pyrenaria and a line-drawing are also provided. Due to its endangered status, extraordinary restoration efforts are urgently needed to save this species.
