A survey of syntaxa of vegetation of evergreen broad-leaved forests in Korea, class Camellietea japonicae is presented. 399 releve´ s were arranged two phytosociological tables, each representing an alliance. A synoptic table comprising all alliances is presented. The vegetation of evergreen broad-leaved forests is divided into three alliances including twelve new associations : ⑴ Querco-Castanopsion all. nov., split into four associations, Castanopsietum sieboldii, Quercetum acutae, Quercetum myrsinaefoliae and Litseetum japonicae; ⑵ Machilo-Camellion all. nov., separate into ten associations, Machiletum thunbergii, Pittosporetum tobirae, Aucubetum japonicae, Neolitsetum sericeae, Euryetum emarginatae, Elaeagnetum macrophyllae, Camellietum japonicae, Theo-Camellietum japonicae, Raphiolepietum umbellatae and Daphniphylletum macropodae;⑶ Dendropanaco-Castanopsion sieboldii including one association, Hosto minoris-Castanopsietum sieboldii. The alliances are floristically and ecologically characterized and their distribution in Korea shown on the map.
