There were several habitats of Coptis japonica var. dissecta (Ranunculaceae) at Oguni, northern district of Kumamoto Prefecture. The plant is not originally grow in Kumamoto. This plant was transplanted in 1906 from Mimasaka, Okayama Prefecture as a medical plant to be cultivated in forestry area. Then, this plant has almost been forgotten and has never been harvested as medicines: it has been growing widely in the forestry for about eighty years. In this paper, ecological and chemical studies were conducted on this transplanted plant in Kyushu. The two locations where the plant was originally introduced are forest lands locating at 500 m alt., where Japanese Red Ceder (Cryptomeria japonica) and Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) of about 70-80 years old grow. The soil is brown forest soil, pH = 5-6.5. The Coptis plant is dominant in the herbaceous layer with Opismenus undulatifolium, Trachelospermum asiaticum and other plants also growing there. These conditions found in the two habitats are the conditions commonly noted in those artificial forests at the high-midland of Kyushu. The result suggests that the artificial forestry at the high-midland of Kyushu would be suitable for the cultivation of Coptis japonica var. dissecta.
