Abstract
The seedling morphology was studied in the Nanjenshan forest of southern Taiwan. A total of eighty-one species of woody plants was described and illustrated. Based on initial germination pattern, four types were recognized. The epigeal type of germination is exhibited by the majority of species (64.2%), followed by hypogeal type (18.52%), semi-hypogeal type (14.81%), and durian type (2.47%). Compared to the Malayan forest, the percentage of the epigeal type seems to be no difference, but that of the durian type is considerably lower. For the present study, all species within the same genus show only one seedling type. At family level, however, the types of seedlings are not so uniform.
