ABSTRACT = {Summary and conclusion
1. Phytogeographically speaking this region is an eastern extension of the Laurel belt of the southern part of mainland China.
2. Owing to the influences of the ocenanic currents of the east and west of the island Formosa, the N. E. and S. W. winter and summer monsoon, and rugged physiographic features, the habitat of this district is very complicated.
3. The factor of complexity of this region has developed diversified groups of plant community within the Lauro-Fagaceous association in rather small areas.
4. The particular ecological features of this region" bring about much lower distributional limit in elevation of many important species of plants such as, Chamecyparis  formosensis, Ch. obtusa var. formosana, Tsuga chinensis, Taxus speciosa, which grow much higher in elevation in other regions nearby this district.
