A new species, Corydalis bonghwaensis M. Kim & H. Jo, is described here. It is found on a mountain slope in Bongwha-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Corydalis bonghwaensis shares several characteristics (white flowers, glabrous pedicels, white tubers, and the polygonal stigma) with related species C. namdoensis B. U. Oh & J. G. Kim and C. albipetala B. U. Oh. However, this new species has flowers which change from pale-yellow to white, a mucronated inner-petal apex, linear leaflets, and fusiform capsules with two-rowed seeds. In contrast, C. namdoensis has retuse inner-petal apex, various leaflets, and fusiform capsules with 2-rowed seeds. C. albipetala has retuse inner-petal apex, elliptical leaflets, and linear capsule with 1-rowed seeds. Also C. humilis B. U. Oh & Y. S. Kim has pale-blue purple flowers, elliptical leaflets, inflorescence with 1-5 flowers, and hemispherical lower-outer petal.

Comparative studies on external morphology and anatomical characters were conducted understand the interspecific relationships and possibly to identify the position of Hanabusaya asiatica as an endemic genus among 4 genera and 9 species in H. asiatica and its allied groups. Such morphological characteristics as root shape, leaf size, presence or absence of wings in petiole, corolla and calyx shape, and inflorescence and stigma shape were useful qualitative characters. The morphology of stem, peduncle, calyx lobe, leaf, petiole, and ovary were also good characters to be included in this identification study. In the anatomical observations in these organs, projecting degree of epidermis and number of projecting area rather than cross-sectioned internal structures were found to be valuable index for the classification among species. External morphology and anatomical characters support the position of H. asiatica as an endemic genus very well. Known as the most important external characters to taxonomists(Fedorov, 1957: Nakai, 1952: Hong, 1983), leaf arrangement, inflorescence, and corolla shape were also preven to be very useful characters to identify the genera and species in the H. asiatica and its allied groups.

A newly naturalized plant, Amaranthus powellii S. Watson was found Jail-dong, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea. This species is native to Southwestern USA and Northern Mexico, and it is also naturalized in worldwide of temperate regions. This species was distinguished from the related species, A. patulus Bertol. and A. hybridus L., by leave blades broadly elliptic, rhombic or lanceolate, petals unequal, without conspicuous green mid-veins, and utricle gradually narrowed toward the stigma. Korean name was given as 'Min-teol-bi-reum' to A. powellii S. Watson, based on the character, it was hairy less than the three related species, A. patulus Bertol., A. hybridus L. and A. retroflexus L., conspicuously. Descriptions for mophological characters, photographs, illustrations and keys to allied taxa were provided.

The external morphological characters of the Korean Oldenlandia were reviewed, and numerical analysis of 25 quantitative characters carried out to evaluate the delimitation of the taxa. Among the qualitative characters, the leaf shape, inflorescence, pilose of insde corolla, expansion of capsule apex, and seed shape were used to delimit 5 species of Korean Oldenlandia. As the result of principal component analysis of quantitative characters, O. corymbosa, O. hirsuta and O. strigulosa were evidently separated on a two-dimensional plot by PC1 and PC2, and O. brachypoda and O. diffusa slightly overlapped. However, O. brachypoda was distinctly delimited from O. diffusa by the shape of calyx lobe, the lengths of pedicel, filament and stigma. Also each of those two species was in a group of its own by cluster analysis.

This study was conducted to identify wood species of 72 wooden parts (pillar, beam, jangyeo, purlin, judu, soro, bracket, deagong, ceiling panel, etc.) used for Daewungjeon Hall in the Woonsoosa Temple, Busan in Korea. Identified wood species were 67 Pinus spp. (Kesiya group), 4 Carpinus spp. and 1 Quercus spp. (Cerris group). In pillars, 14 red pines and 4 Carpinus and in purlins, 4 red pines and 1 Cerris were found. Other elements were red pines. Carpinus woods, which were used for the lower portions of three pillars (Dongbari), seemed repaired parts. A carved wood used for the stand of Buddhist statues was identified as Alnus spp. This study showed that Daewungjeon Hall of the Woonsoosa Temple was made mostly of red pines.

An Asiatic lily (Lilium spp.) cultivar 'Onnuri' for cut and pot flower was developed in 2006 at Jeollabukdo Agricultural Research & Extension Services, Iksan, Korea. The cross was made in 1999 between 'Avignon', orange colored, and 'Nove Cento', yellow colored. A line was preliminarily selected as 'A99-6-48' by reason of stable flower color and shape among germinated seedlings. It had been multiplicated through in vitro culture and then bulbed on field during 2002~2003. After characteristics were investigated from 2004 to 2005, finally it was named as an 'Onnuri' in 2006. Flower of 'Onnuri' belongs to orange-red group with its center shown orange group. Plant height is 92.8 cm, flower size is medium as 13.8 cm. Stigma color is red-brown and blooming direction is upward-facing. Flowering time is mid-June.

A new hybrid variety of pasqueflower, 'Yeonhong', was derived from an interspecific cross between Pulsatilla davurica and P. koreana at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JARES) in Naju, Korea. The original cross was performed in 2001, and the 'Yeonhong' hybrid was established in 2003 after two years of selective breeding. 'Yeonhong' is characterized by deep pink flowers and is self-incompatible. The inherent characteristics of the variety are deep yellow anthers, a deep pink stigma, six petals, and green leaf color. 'Yeonhong' blooms twice a year. The agronomic characteristics of the variety are 26.5 flowers per plant, 58.6 cm in flower height, 46.8 cm in cut flower length, 11.5 cm in bract width, and 34.4 cm in leaf length. Flower characteristics include 8.4 days of longevity for cut flowers and 34 days of longevity for bracts. The new variety is suitable for use as a cut flower.

A new pasqueflower (Pulsatilla koreana) variety, 'Gyeobi,' was derived from a mutation of native P. koreana at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JARES) in Naju, Korea. The 'Gyoebi' was obtained by treating seeds with 3 mM of a chemical mutagen, sodium azide, for 16 hr in 2001. The variety was established in 2005 after two years of selective breeding. 'Gyeobi' is characterized by reddish purple flowers with 12 double petals. The inherent characteristics of the variety are deep yellow anthers and reddish purple stigmas. The agronomic characteristics of the variety are 6.3 flowers per plant, 26.4 cm in flower height, 14.2 cm in leaf length, 7.5 cm in flower width, and 11.0 cm in bract width.

In this study, Gwanghanru Pavilion (Namwon-si, Cheonbuk Province) was dated by tree rings of pines (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc., 'sonamu' in Korean). The present Gwanghanru Pavilion is composed of three parts: main, wing and entrance parts. The main part is known to have been built in 1626 and the entrance hall in 1879, but the date of construction of the wing part is still unknown. We dated a total of 55 wood samples which were replaced during the repair process in 2001~2002. Tree-ring dates indicated that both main and wing parts were built in 1626. Tree rings also revealed that the entrance hall was constructed in 1880~1881, and both main and wing parts were heavily repaired together while appending the entrance hall. In conclusion, dendrochronology, i.e., tree-ring dating, was a useful and accurate method to identify the critical dates-such as the dates of original construction, reconstruction, repairs and extensions-for the history of Korean traditional buildings.
