| Abstract;A population biology of Sarcochilus japonicus (Rchb. f.) Miq. (Orchidaceae) is studied. After seeds are dispersed and germinated, they produce protocorms which develop their primary shoot axes elongated and creeped along the surface of substratum and bear firstly tiny scale leaf at the shoot apex and later up to two true-leaves and roots to grow up to a plantlet. Population maintenance and growth of S. japonicus occur mostly by sexual reproduction and partially by vegetative reproduction with growing lateral buds in the monopodial shoot. Age spectrum in the population is relatively similar to that of certain terrestrial orchids previously studied. The largest loci of S. japonicus are situated on the host boughs spreading to the north to southwest direction, that may depend for further population dynamics on their own ability to use resources of the environment.
