The tree Ilex dimorphophylla Koidz.(Aquifoliaceae)is a vulnerable species that is endemic to the summit of Mt. Yuwan on Amamioshima Island, Japan. This plant hows characteristic leaf dimorphism, which increases its horticultural value, and many individuals have been illegally removed from the natural habitat. We examined the umber of shoots, leaf morphology and plant size of the species in the natural habitat. Based on field observation for two years, we found 84 shoots, of which 32(38.1%)had entire mature leaves, whereas 52(61.9%)had only serrate juvenile leaves. Majority of the examined shoots surveyed fell into the smallest size classes : < 100 cm in eight(ca. 45%)and < 25 mm in diameter at the trunk base(ca. 60%). Leaf dimorphism was clearly demarcated in trees at 130―210 cm in height and 15―27 mm in diameter at the trunk base.
