This study was carried out to find growth characters and distribution of above and underground in natural crossed population of Paeonia lactiflora Pallas. Sprouting time was 1 April to 15 April, and distribution of stem length ranged from 21 to 80cm, and 3 to 18 in stem number. Distribution of root length ranged from 12 to 59cm, root number per plant was 73 to 4, root yield per plant was highly varied by 37 to 882g, and larger root above 750g was occupied by 7.1%. Paeoniflorin content was 1.9 to 10.29% and plants containing higher paeoniflorin was 14.3%. Root length and yield had highly positive correlation. Root diameter and stem length was also positively correlated.

The following is a taxonomic list of the specific features of external and internal shape and pattern analysis of Paeonia lactiflora PALL. and P. obovata MAX as the standard of herbal medicine. 1. External shape of original plant P. lactiflora has lancelate and elliptical leaves with no hair on both sides. It bears a flower bud at the shoot apex or leaf axil. On the other hand, P. obovata has obovate leaves with hair on the back side. It has a single flower bud at the shoot apex. 2. Physical characteristics of herbal states P. lactiflora has a bright and smooth external surface whose color is light red brown, light gray on its section and it is not easy to cut. On the other hand, P. obovata has a coarse external surface whose color is dark brown, pinkish on its section and it is easy to cut. 3. Physical characteristics of herbal state in currents Paeonia Radix Alba is brown on the external surface, and whitish on its section. On the other hand, Paeonia Radix Rubra is dark brown on the external surface, and yellowish-white on its section. 4. Internal characteristics Internal shape is correspond to that of Paeonia Radix described in literatures. Only P. lactoflora has a concentrated vascular bundle toward centeral cylinder. On the other hand, P. obovata has a scattered vascular bundle at the cortex. 5. Physicochemical pattern by HPLC Both P. lactoflora and P. obovata showed the same pattern. Paeoniforin, a main component, appears upon 13.68 in retention time (Rt) in both. In addition, both contain a large amount of paeoniflorin. Such results will, in the future, be used as basic source for the additional research, such as biological reactions and genetic discrimination.

Peony has been cultivated as medicinal plant in East and also its beautiful flower was acknowledged over the world. In West, numerous peony varieties were developed for ornamental use but not in the country. Ninety two varieties of ornamental peony were introduced from U.S.A. and investigated in Uisong Medicinal Plant Experiment Station during $1997{\sim}1999$. For most of them, their growth habit were good in the country. Their flower colors were clearer and stems were thicker and stronger than domestic peonies. Some of them showed vigorous growth and made very high yield of root. Most of varieties showed proper content of paeoniflorin, medicinal component of peony, for medicinal use.

Study on the effective cultivation method for earlier harvest of peony(Paeonia lactiflora Pall.), was carried out in Uiseong Medicinal Plant Experiment Station from 2001 to 2003. Sprouting time and flowering time in house cultivation were earlier than in field cultivation. Planting large crowns of $100{\sim}130g$ increased yield by 34%. The method that is 'Large crown($100{\sim}130g$) + dense planting + vinyl mulching for 2 years' resulted good growth and 54% yield increase. This method made it possible to harvest peony on the second year and reduce productive cost. The yield was decreased more or less in this method but yearly income was increased by 28%.

Paeoniae radix has been considered as one of the most important crude drugs used in traditional oriental medicine and has been employed as a circulatory tonic in care of weakness, night sweats, and lumbar pain, etc. Platelet activation plays an important role in thrombosis and haemostasis. Active compounds for the inhibition of platelet activation from Paeoniae radix were extracted and fractionated into five fractions. Its fraction two and three of ethyl acetate extract inhibited the aggregation of washed rabbit platelets induced by collagen. Two active compounds, bezoyloxypaeoniflorin and paeoniflorin, were isolated from fraction two and three by silica gel column and high performance liquid chromatography. The chemical structures were determined by comparison of their proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Benzoyloxypaeoniflorin showed strong inhibition at the concentration of 100 ug/mL against collagen-induced washed rabbit platelets aggregation. It is suggested that Paeoniae radix has become food material to prevent a cardiovascular disease.

This study was conducted to identify physiologically active substances from leaves and stems of peony plant. MeOH extracts and column chromatography were employed to isolate active compounds and chemical structure were identified by IR, UV, Mass and NMR. The results obtained can be summerized as followings : Chemical structure of compound 1 was identified as oleanolic acid (white color form) of triterpenoid group, which is firstly identified from the above part of peony. Compound 2 was identified as kaempferol (yellow needle form) of flavonoid group, which was firstly identified from the root, leaf and stem of peony. Compound 3 was identified as methyl gallate (white power form) of phenol group, which was firstly identified from the above part of peony. Compound 4 was identified as astragalin (bright yellow needle form) of flavonoid group, that was firstly identified from the leaf and stem of peony. Compound 5 was identified as paeoniflorin (white color form) of monoterpene group, that was firstly identified from the above part of peony.
