TL;DRAbstract
Forests of Castanopsis cuspidata (THUNB.) SCHOTTKY var. sieboldii (MAKINO) NAKAI (syn. Shiia sieboldii MAKINO) are representative of the warm-temperate forest climaxes in central and southern Japan. Low- and mid-elevation areas of western Kyushu are also in the range of this climatic climax. Up to present, forests of this region were little explored phytosociologically. The present paper is a first report of series of phytosociological studies on the forest vegetation of western Kyushu, which were surveyed since 1967. Field and laboratory works were conducted along the Braun-Blauquet's system of phytosociology. The vegetation units abstracted were as follows. Rapanaeo-Shiietum sieboldii Suz.-Tok. 1952 Subassoc. of Viburnum japonicum Typical variant Variant of Arisaema ringens Typical subassoc. Variant of Arisaema ringens Typical variant Bladhio-Shiietum sieboldii Suz.-Tok. 1952 The floristic composition and diagnostic species of these communities are given in Table 1 and the distributi
