Abstract
This study reports on the morphological characteristics and distribution for conservation and practical use in the Korean Peninsula of Chrysosplenium flaviflorum through a comparison with relative species. The morphological characters that were newly investigated in this study included subhypogaeus stolons and glabrous on the surface of leaves. The former has not been described by any taxonomist who had previously treated this species with the exclusion of Hara. Despite this, the latter is a very important key to using the identification of varieties of Ser. Pilosa though there were no descriptions which included Ohwi. C. flaviflorum Ohwi which was endemic and known to be distributed only in the northern area of the Korean Peninsula, was also observed in the Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do, and Yeongdonggun, Chungcheongbuk-do middle area since the latest collection report in 1943. There is a requirement for further study to be conducted on the distribution and management by designation for the Special Plant Species by the Korean Ministry of Environment.
