While more than 1,000 taxa in Staurastrum were found worldwide, in Korea only 119 taxa, of 68 species 42 varieties 9 forms, were reported so far. In this study, 23 taxa (19 species 4 varieties) of Staurastrum were collected from 15 freshwaters in Korea from Feb. through Nov., 2003. Among these taxa, 12 were newly recorded to Korea. Therefore, the total number of Staurastrum in Korea should be 131 taxa, of 77 species 45 varieties 9 forms, adding 12 newly found taxa. Most of the collected species were coincided with the characteristics previously described, but the sizes of 8 taxa including S. affine were smaller than those previously described. The 7 taxa including S. cerastesa have shown a little dissimilarity in the morphology of semicell and the decoration of cell wall.

A taxonomic study of Viola section Chamaemelanium in Korea, based on morphological characters, was conducted with light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Two species, V. orientalis W. Becker and V. brevistipulata (Fr. et Sav.) W. Becker, are recognized by rhizome and cauline habits, trichomes on the ovary and the shape and beards of stigmas. The latter can be split further into three varieties, var. brevistipulata, var. minor Nakai and var. laciniata (Boiss.) W. Becker, according to the leaf morphology in particular. Viola brevistipulata var. laciniata has the most tooth number, and its teeth are irregular erose but the other two varieties are regular sinuate or serrate. As for the size of leaves, V. brevistipular var. brevistipulata is the largest but V. brevistipulata var. minor is the smallest among the varities. Of them, V. brevistipulata var. laciniata is newly recorded in Korea. It was also revealed that both development and arrangement of the beards developed on the ovary and stigma were particularly diagnostic in the identification of the Viola section Chamaemelanium species.

The rotifers inhabiting several lowland swamps in Kyngsangnam-do were taxonomically investigated. Collectings were carried out four times at 10 sites in such lowland swamps as Up, Chunam-ji , Chilnal-np and Oisong-np from 22 February 1988 to 2 October 1988. As a result, 4 spcies, 9 subspecies, 2 varieties and 2 forms of monogonont rotifiers in 5 families were identified, of which following 3 species and 3 subspecies are new to Korea ; Testudinella mucronata hauerensis, Platyias quadricornis , Mytilina acanthophora, Lecane ungulata ungulata. Trichocerca bicristata bicristata, and Dicranophorus epicharis.

한경 곶자왈 산림유전자원보호구역은 개가시나무와 백서향 등을 포함한 암괴지대의 상록활엽수림으로서 그 중요성이 인정되어 산림유전자원 생태보전지역으로 지정 관리되고 있다. 따라서 본 지역의 식물상을 조사하여 곶자왈의 분포식물을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구는 한라산 서쪽 곶자왈지역 중 곶자왈 산림유전자원 보호구역으로 지정된 지역을 2017년 6월부터 2017년 9월까지 20여 차례 현장조사를 통하여 표본을 수집하고 이를 기록 정리하였다. 조사지역의 식물은 총 83과 181속 236종 23변종 2품종 총 261종으로 조사결과 양치식물이 7과 18속 30종 2변종 32분류군, 나자식물이 1과 1속 2분류군, 피자식물은 74과 162속 204종 21변종 2품종 227분류군 이었다. 그 중 쌍자엽식물은 67과 139속 179종 16변종 1품종 196분류군이고, 단자엽식물이 7과 23속 25종 5변종 1품종 31분류군이었다. 조사에서 확인된 환경부 멸종위기야생식물은 개가시나무 1종 이었다. 식물 구계학적 특정식물로는 총 97분류군이 조사되었다. 등급별로는 V등급 검정개관중, 개가시나무로 2분류군, IV등급 백서향, 녹나무 등 12분류군, III등급 아왜나무, 호자나무 등 37분류군, II등급 올벚나무, 개산초 등 13분류군, I 등급 푸조나무, 자금우 등 33분류군으로 확인되었다. 한국의 적색목록 식물을 분석해보면 취약(VU)은 개가시나무, 섬다래 등 3분류군, 준위협(NT)은 백서향, 약난초로 2분류군, 관심대상종(LC)은 골고사리, 새우난초 등 9분류군, 미평가종(NE)은 빌레나무 1분류군으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 청수 저지 곶자왈 지역의 생태학적 자료로 제주도 내 곶자왈과 비교하였을 때 맹아가 발달한 종가시나무가 우점하는 지역으로 향후 상록수림 천이에 의해 상록수 아래에 자라는 식물로 낙엽활엽수가 대체될 것으로 추정되어 지속적인 조사가 요구된다.

This study presents a comprehensive account of the flora of hydrophytes and hygrophytes on Jeju Island. This approach aims to contribute to fundamental information about the conservation of plant diversity in wetlands. Field surveys were carried out from May of 2010 to September of 2014 in various types of wetlands on Jeju Island. A total of 189 taxa, including 52 families, 98 genera, 181 species, 6 varieties, 2 forma and 189 taxa, were found. Among them, 99 taxa (38 families, 60 genera, 96 species and 3 varieties) were hydrophytes and 90 taxa (23 families, 45 genera, 85 species, 3 varieties and 2 forma) were hygrophytes. In addition, Eleocharis${\times}$yezoensis H. Hara (Cyperaceae) was newly added to the flora of Korea. The protected wild plants designated by the Ministry of the Environment were 5 taxa, including Brasenia schreberi J. F. Gmel. and Dysophylla yatabeana Makino. The endangered species found included one Critically Endangered Species (i.e., Mankyua chejuense B.-Y. Sun, M. H. Kim & C. H. Kim), 5 Endangered Species (e.g., Lysimachia leucantha Miq.) and 7 Vulnerable Species (e.g., Tillaea aquatica L.). The floristic regional indicator plants found in this area were 44 taxa comprising 10 taxa of grade V, 7 taxa grade IV, 15 taxa of grade III, 5 taxa of grade II, and 7 taxa of grade I. The identified naturalized plants were 10 taxa; 8 families, 8 genera, 9 species and 1 variety. In the wetlands on Jeju Island, high plant species diversity was shown, and a number of rare plants and phytogeographically important plants were found. For these reasons, we consider that the wetlands on Jeju Island are very important areas from a botanical point of view. It is necessary to establish specific protection and maintenance policies in an effort to conserve these wetlands and species.
