Abstract
Vegetations in and around the minorities' villages in the western Yunnan, China are sketched based on the field work which was conducted in Dehong Prefecture of Yunnan in December, 1997. The minorities villages we visited were as follows; De-ang Tribe's Ien Qian Village, De-ang Tribe's Xiangcaitang Village, Dai Tribe's Dadenhan Village, A-chang Tribe's Bansu Village, Jingpo Tribe's Gongxia Village, and De-ang Tribe's Jinzu Village. These villages are located on gentle slopes at the foot of small hills except Dadenhan village which is situated on flat land being surrounded by paddyfields. Various vegetations were observed in and around these villages.
