Abstract

A new variety, Geranium koraiense var. hallasanense B.-J. Woo & S.-J. Park, is described here from Jeju Island, Korea. The new variety is distributed only in Jeju Island, and readily distinguished from the other varieties of G. koraiense by its shape of radical leaf division, rounded or undulate petal apex, glabrous petal veins, densely pubescent stems, and stylar portion pubescent with trichomes in basal 1/4 portion. A key to the varieties of G. koraiense is provided.
