Abstract

Saussurea nipponica subsp. higomontana was recorded first from Mt. Mudeung-san, Gwangju-si, Korea. We named the plant Mu-deung-chui. It had been considered as an endemic plant to Japan. S. nipponica sensu lato is the one of the most famous polymorphic species which consists of 7 infraspecific taxa (subspecies) isolating geographically. Among them, S. nipponica subsp. higomontana is distributed on high mountain regions of Kyushu and Shikoku.

광주광역시 무등산에서 취나물속의 1종인 Saussurea nipponica subsp. higomontana 를 발견하여 국명을 무등취로 명명하였다.
