Abstract: Castanopsis eyrei forest was one of the main forest types in Gutianshan Nature Reserve. The study results showed that it was characterized by microphanerophytes and mesophanerophytes with microphylls and mesophylls, simple, unentire, leathery and herbaceous leaves. The Castanopsis eyrei community had a striking mone dominant character. The complicated vertical structure could be divided into tree layer, shrub layer and herb layer, as well as a definite number of interstratum plants. The species diversity index of the tree layer was a bit low, and the general trend was shrub layer > treelayer > herb layer.
