The study was carried out to investigate the distribution and composition of community of Stewartia koreana in Temple Huibang and Mt. Sogri. The results obtained were as follows :
1. Within the forest floor cover species of the Temple Huibang forest, higher importance value were observed as Calamagrostis arundinacea, Sasa borealis, Lindera erythrocarpa and Lindera obtusiloba.
2. In the forest floor cover species of Mt. Sogri forest, higher importance value were observed as Sasa borealis and Acer pseudo-sieboldianum var. koreanum.
3. Within the floor cover species under Stewartia koreana forest, higher importance value were observed as Sasa borealis, Acer pseudo sieboldianum var. koreanum and Calamagrostis arundinacea.
4. Under shrub layer of Stewartia koreana stands, 73% of Sasa borealis and Calamagrostis arundinacea in Temple Huibang and 93% of Sasa borealis in Mt. Sogri were counted respectively as dominant species.
Therefore, it might be necessary to control such dominant undergrowing species for natural reproduction of Stewartia koreana.
5. In the Temple Huibang sites, by 700m Sasa borealis and 800m Calamagrostis arundinacea were grown as dominant species.
