Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the distribution of vascular plants and their usefulness in Mt. Hwaak (931m). The vascular plants were consisted of total 338 taxa; 92 families, 248 genera, 281 species, 1 subspecies, 47 varieties and 9 forms. It corresponded to 6.9% of totally 4,881 taxa distributed in Korea. The economic plants of this area were 278 taxa. It corresponded to 82.2% of collected plants in this area. Among the economic plants, there were 154 taxa of edible source, 163 taxa of medicinal source, 58 taxa of ornamental source, 91 taxa of pastural source, 22 taxa of industrial source and 9 taxa of timber source. Korean endemic plants of this area were 9 taxa. The rare and endangered plants was 1 taxon, and the specific species floristically of $I\;{\sim}\;V$ grades were 21 taxa. The naturalized plants were 19 taxa and naturalized ratio was 5.6% and Urban index was 6.8%.
