Saussurea nipponica subsp. higomontana was recorded first from Mt. Mudeung-san, Gwangju-si, Korea. We named the plant Mu-deung-chui. It had been considered as an endemic plant to Japan. S. nipponica sensu lato is the one of the most famous polymorphic species which consists of 7 infraspecific taxa (subspecies) isolating geographically. Among them, S. nipponica subsp. higomontana is distributed on high mountain regions of Kyushu and Shikoku.

The unrecorded plant, Aster hispidus var. leptocladus (Compositae), was reported from Mt. Palgong-san, Daegu-si, Korea and was named as 'Gin-ssuk-bu-jaeng-i' after its slender leaves. It is distinguished from var. hispidus by having glabrous linear cauline leaves with acute apex, small heads and involucre, short pappus in disc florets. It had been considered as Japanese endemic plant especially adapted to serpentine area.

Alliaria petiolata (M. Bieb.) Cavara & Grande (Brassicaceae) is an invasive species which is native in Europe and SW Asia. This species is currently invading the understory of mature temperate forests of North America. In Korea, A. petiolata is found to invade and colonize areas at forest margins along roadsides (Samcheok- si, Gangwon-do). This initial investigation serves to inform of the importance of early detection and extermination of this particular weed in Korea.

Unrecorded species from the beach at Gangnung City is reported: Cakile edentula, Brassicaceae. The genus Cakile is unrecorded in Korea and easily distinguished from other genera in Brassicaceae by the upper member of fruits distinctly longer or thicker than the lower part, petiole white or anthocyanic, style absent and leaves glabrous. The local name is Seo-yang-gaet-naeng-i and the morphological characters and illustrations of the species are provided.

We report an unrecorded species of Corydalis sect. Corydalis (Fumariaceae), C. caudata (Lam.) Pers., that have been found in the central part of Korea. This species is easily recognized by its bearded calyx, upwardly curved spur, and multi-branched characteristics. We named it 'Soo-yeom-hyeon-ho-saek' as korean common name.

Here, we have described and illustrated a new endemic species of Scutellaria orthocalyx. This species, from Jeju-do, Korea, is clearly distinguished from other species of Scutellaria orthocalyx, especially its close relative, Scutellaria orthocalyx has relatively many leaves further down the stem. The shape of leaves begins linear and becomes lanceolate. Scutellaria orthocalyx can also have long shaped leaves on the upper part. Scutellaria baicalensis by linear, terete, fistulous and long leaves. A index to these species is provided.

An unrecorded species of Oldenlandia brachypoda DC. is newly reported from Seogwipo-si, Jejudo, This species is distinguished from Oldenlandia diffusa, the related taxa by the surface and length of the pedicel, the number of flowerd, the shape of the calyx and capsule. The new Korean name 'je-ju-baeg-un-pul', was given considering the collect locality. The illustration, description and key of characters are provided.

Two unrecorded species (Sceptridium atrovirens and S. microphyllum), previously known only in Japan, were found in a forest in Dosun-dong, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do for the first time in Korea. S. atrovirens was distinguished from other related species of the genus Sceptridium in Korea by having the thickest rhizome and root, irregularly crenulate or roughly serrate, and a shorter sporophore blade. The local name was newly given as 'Sup-go-sa-ri-sam' for the species, denoting the habitat. S. microphyllum was distinguished by having the smallest plant height, compact sterile blades, and partly lateritious tropophyll in winter. The local name was newly given as 'Aegi-go-sa-ri-sam' for species, meaning of a small size. To reveal the interspecific relationships within the genus Sceptridium in Korea, cladistic analysis was performed for 27 morphological characteristics. The morphological characteristics and illustrations of the two taxa, as well as photographs at the habitat, are provided with a taxonomic key to the species of Sceptridium in Korea.
