This study was carried out to investigate the native distribution of wax myrtle (Myrica rubra) in Cheju Province and its propagation method. Wax myrtle is heavily distributed at 100 to 400m above sea level of Donhong-chun and Hyodon-chun which is bordered by Youngchon-dong of Seogwipo City and Haryeri of Namcheju county. BA, IBA, Kinetin, IAA, and GA3 were applied to promote rooting of cutting but were ineffective in promoting rooting. Treating cuttings with both AgNO,1 which removes rooting inhibitor, tannin and growth regulators such as BA, IBA and Kinetin were also ineffective in promoting rooting. Incubating seeds at 4$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 days resulted in 39％ germination. There was distinct difference in leaf shape between seedlings and mature trees.
