Castanopsis sieboldii, also known as the Itajii Chinkapin or Itajii, is a species of evergreen tree that lives in subtropical eastern Asia.[1][2] This is a climax species that is commonly found in the Japanese temperate rainforest.[3] Specimens are also present within the forest area of the Tokyo Imperial Palace.
Castanopsis sieboldii was once thought to be a subspecies of the similar Castanopsis cuspidata.
Plants and animals associated with this tree include:
- Aspidistra elatior, the cast-iron plant, grows in the understorey.
- Acrocercops mantica, Chrysocercops castanopsidis, and Lymantria albescens[4] larvae of these Asian moths likely mine the leaves.
- Amantis nawai, a small praying mantis species native to Eastern Asia is known to live around C. sieboldii where it eats insects.
- Okinawa rail, a Japanese bird, lives among these trees.
