Objective : For the purpose of developing Cupressaceae plants recorded in Korean Herbology in Korea, the literatures of the successive generations have been thoroughly investigated to prepare this article. Methods : Books and research papers about Herbology which published at Korea and other countries were examined. Results : A list was made about Cupressaceae plant which were cultivated or grew naturally in Korea, after investigated the data on domestic and foreign Cupressaceae plants. Out of those lists, serviceable plants were selected and with those available plants, their distributions were analysed and parts which can be used as medicines were divided into 3 categories such as oriental medicine name, scientific name and non-official name. Cupressaceae's properties flavor, channels they use, effects, and toxicity were also noted. Cupressaceae(grew in Korea) were divided into 4 classes with 20 species. Out of those, 2 classes with 4 species were found serviceable which indicates 20% of all. Out of all 20 species of Cupressaceae family, Juniperus genus were found 12 species, which were shown the most. Among 2 genus of Cupressaceae species, medicinal plants Juniperus genus and Thuja genus were found 2 species each. Out of all serviceable parts in Cupressaceae, Folium parts took first place as 4 species. The research also suggests that there are 1 species and 1 parts which are toxic. Conclusion : There were totaled to 4 genera and 20 species in Cupressaceae in Korea and among them medicinal plants are 2 genera, 4 species, some 20% in total.
