In this paper, a new hybrid species, Pulsatilla ${\times}$ yanbianensis H.Z. Lv, is named and described from the Yanbian area of Jilin Province in China. Molecular data confirm that this taxon is a result of natural hybridization between P. dahurica and P. cernua. As intermediate and mosaic phenotypes are expected for an interspecific hybrid, the leaves of P. ${\times}$ yanbianensis are fully expanded at the anthesis, resembling one of the parental species, P. daurica. However, the hybrid taxon is distinct from P. daurica by having reddish violet sepals and sterile fruits. Pulsatilla ${\times}$ yanbianensis also resembles the other parental species, P. cernua, in that it has dark red sepals and styles. The new hybrid, however, can be distinguished from P. cernua because it has leaf margins with short hairs and fully expanded leaves at the anthesis.

To examine the effects of gibberelin treatment on seed germination of six wild herbaceous species -Dicentra spectabilis, Aster pekinensis, Agastache rugosa, Elsoholtzia ciliata, Boehmeria tricuspis and Pulsatillia cerrma var. chaerophyiloides - in Kangwon-do, pretreated seeds of five species were sowed on plastic pots with mixed soil(sand：peat moss：perlite： vermiculite, 1：1：1：1, v/v) in 23,April 1995. Seeds were soaked in 25,50 ppm gibberelin solution and ground water during 24 hours. Pretreated seeds of Pulsatiilia cerrma var. chaerophylloides were sowed on nursery soil in 1, June 1995. Seed pretreatments in 31, May 1995 were same method. Seed germination rate was measured and compared among species and treatments. Seed germination rate of Dicentra spectabilis, Agastache rugosa and Elsoholtzia ciliata was differed higly significant among pretreatments ,but those of that of Aster pekinensis, Boehmeria tricuspis and Pulsatillia cerrma var chaerophylloides did not significant at 5% level. Gibberelin pretreatment raised seed germination rate of Dicentra spectabilis and Agastaohe rugosa and proper concentration of GA$_3$ was 25ppm and seed germination rate of Elsoholtzia ciliata was highest at GA$_3$ 50ppm plot. The utilization of wild herbaceous species were discussed.
