Abstract

We report an unrecorded plant species, Elatostema laetevirens Makino (Urticaceae), in Korea. This species was collected for the first time from under the canopy of an evergreen forest in Hyodoncheon, Sanghyo-dong, Soeguipo-si and Tamra valley in Ohdeung-dong, Cheju-si of the Province of Cheju in Korea. E. laetevirens Makino was quite distinct from others of the genus Elatostema in Korea owing to its perennial nature, the absence of trichomes in the stem and the absence of peduncles during the inflorescence period. This species was given the Korean name 'pu-reun-mong-ul-pul' based on the absence of luster and the bluish green color on the adaxial surface of its leaves.

제주도의 서귀포시 상효동과 제주시 오등동의 계곡 주변에서 발견한 쐐기풀과의 몽울풀속에 속하는 미기록 식물, 푸른몽울풀(Elatostema laetevirens Makino)을 채집하여 기재하였다. 푸른몽울풀은 다년초이고 줄기에 개출모가 없는 점과 화서의 자루가 발달하지 않는 특징으로 국내 몽울풀속의 다른 종들과 쉽게 구분이 된다. 잎 표면에 광택이 없으며, 표면의 색이 청록색인 특징을 고려하여 '푸른몽울풀'로 명명하였다.
