  • The extract from the bulbs of Pancratium maritimum L. afforded 12 alkaloids belonging to the skeletally six different groups of the Amaryllidaceae alkaloids. In this paper, the isolation and identification of (-)-N-demethyl-galanthamine (1), (+)-tazettine (2) and (-)-2-O-demethylmontanine (3) are described. Their structures have been determined by using extensive spectroscopic techniques. This is the first report describing the occurrence of 1 and 3 in this plant.

  • Allium ulleungense (subg. Anguinum, Amaryllidaceae), from Ulleungdo Island, Korea, is described as a new species. It is clearly distinguished from its close relatives, A. microdictyon and A. ochotense, by its broader leaves and larger whitish perianth and by its diploid chromosome number, which is 2n = 2x = 16. The lengths of the chromosomes range from 11.3 to 15.75 ㎛. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using nuclear and chloroplast markers also clearly indicate that A. ulleungense is genetically distinct from other species of the subg. Anguinum.

  • Allium stenodon (Amaryllidaceae) is reported as a returning member of the Korean flora. This species proved to be the only member of the section Sikkimensia among Korean Allium species, and it is easily distinguished by its cylindrical bulbs with fibrous to sometimes subreticulate tunics and blue to purple-blue perianth. Previously recognized A. baekdusanense is treated as an additional synonym of A. stenodon. Photographs and complete descriptions of A. stenodon are provided together with a dichotomous key to the Korean Allium species. In addition A. stenodon is newly recorded in Jilin province in China.

  • Texa of Lycoris in Korea were classified as five species with two varieties and revised taxonomically. Among the examined taxa, five Korean endemic plants were clarified: Lycoris flavescens M. Kim et S. Lee, L. uydoensis M. Kim, L. chejuensis Tae et S. Ko, L. chinensis var. sinuolata Tae et S. Ko, and L. sanguinea var. koreana (Nakai) T. Koyama. It was found that L. flavescens, L. uydoensis, and L. chejuensis were the natural hybrids between taxa of M+T karyotype and A karyotype. A specimen collected on Aug. 20, 1987 by M. Kim was designated as a holotype of Lycoris flavescens M. Kim et S. Lee. Lycoris flavescens var. uydoensis was ranked up to L. uydoensis. A key to all species including descriptions of each taxon was provided.

  • Objectives : For the purpose of developing Korean herbology of the plants to Amaryllidaceae in Korea, the literatures of the successive generations have been thoroughly investigated to prepare this article.Methods : Books and research papers about Herbology which published at home and abroad were examined.Results : A list was made about Amarylliaceae plant which were cultivated or grew naturally in Korea, after investigated the data on domestic and foreign Amarylliaceae plants. Out of those lists, serviceable plants were selected and with those available plants, their distributions were analysed and parts which can be used as medicines were divided into 3 categories such as oriental medicine name, scientific name and non-official name. Amarylliaceae's properties flavor, channels they use, effects, and toxicity were also noted. Amarylliaceae (grew in Korea) were divided into 4 classes with 16 species. Out of those, 4 classes with 7 species were found serviceable which indicates 44 % of all. Out of all 16 specified Amarylliaceae plants, Lycoris plants were found 9 species, which were shown the most. And 4 classes of Lycoris plants were also selected the most in serviceable Amarylliaceae. Out of all serviceable parts in Amarylliaceae, bulbus parts took first place as 6 species.Conclusions : There were totaled to 4 genera and 16 species in Amarylliaceae in Korea and among them medicinal plants are 4 genera, 7 species, some 44 % in total.
