Abstract

The distribution pattern of Strawylockm macrobotrys A. Gray, commonly known as jade vine, was studied at different elevations in the Mt. Makiling forest Twenty-three plants were observed along the transect line at elevations ranging from 300-750 meters. Most of the plants were observed along the road and trail. The transect was divided into seven sites representing different elevational quadrants. The most number of plants were found at approximately 700 meters elevation. This was observed to show a somewhat clumped pattern of distribution. A sparse distribution was noted from 300 to 600 meters. Light intensity and relative humidity in the different sites were relatively low but showed no distinct differences between sites. Soil pH was measured to be slightly acidic in all sites. The jade vine was also observed to twine with the tallest plant closest to it. Malakamatis tree, Diplodiscus paniculatus, Dinochloa luconiae, Donax ccninaeformis and Dillenia phihppinensis were noted to be common to most sites.
