Abstract

|
The vegetation of Saeng-il Island was surveyed over four times from July, 1979 to May, 1981. The results obtained are summarized as follows:
Plants of this island consisted of 3 foma, 28 varieties, 211 species, 203 genera, and 89 families.
Evergreen broad-leaved trees consisted of 24 species, including Camellia japonica and Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii.
The vegetation of the southwest slope was more favorable than that of the northeast slope and the vegetation of other areas were negligible.
Pueraria thunbergiana and Clerodendron trichotomum were predominant in the area between Yucheon-ri and Geummo-ri.
Evergreen broad-leaved trees, such as Camillia japonica, Neolitsea sencea, Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii, etc. were predominated in the areas of Gulzeon-ri, Yongchul-ri and Geummo-ri. However, artificial succession to Pinus thunbergii presently dominating the areas has taken place due to human interferences(for charcaol, building materials, grazing etc.).
It seems to be worthy of conserving the community of Camellia japonica on the back slope of Geummo-ri and that of Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii between Gulzeon-ri and Hangdo-dong.
It is noticeable, in particular, that Damnacanthus indicus distributed in Jeju and Dolsan islands was also discovered in this island.
