According to the distribution of plants, it can be classified to 5 areas; Northern part, Central part, Southern part, JeJuDo(濟州道) and UlLungDo(鬱陵島). Nakai of Japan, reported Plants in Korean peninsula as 3176 species, 841 varietal species and 174 varieties in "A Synoptical sketch of Korean flora". Lee of Korea, reported 3409 species, 6 sub-species, 756 varietal species and 287 varieties in "Korean Plants Resources". Isidoja(石戶谷) of Japan, simply described crude drug names, scientific names, effects, etc. of 45 species of Korean Medicinal Plants in the book "Journal of Jo-Seon Pharmacy(朝鮮藥學會會報)" third edition (published in 1925) and also explained 250 species of crude drug collected in Manchuria, Mongolia and Korean peninsula in the book "Medicinal plants in Northern Asia(北支那의 藥草)"(1931).

This study was conducted to identify transition characteristics of mercury in several selected medicinal plants and to find the appropriate management for production of safety food. Cultivated soils and medicinal plants were collected at 29 sites for Angelica gigas (Korean angelica root), 68 sites for Platycodon grandiflorum (Balloon flower), 35 sites for codonopsis lanceolata (Deoduck), 36 sites for Dioscorea batatas (Chinese yam), 32 sites for Rehmannia glutinosa (Foxglove), 16 sites for Cnidium officinale makino (cnidium), and 26 sites for Astragalus membranaceus (milk vetch root) during the harvest season of 2013. Mercury in the soils and medicinal roots were analyzed with a Direct Mercury Analyzer. Average content of mercury in soils cultivated medicinal plants was $0.023mg\;kg^{-1}$ (range: from 0.003 to $0.074mg\;kg^{-1}$) and average content of mercury in medicinal plants was $0.003mg\;kg^{-1}$ (range: from 0.001 to $0.011mg\;kg^{-1}$), indicating that mercury in the surveyed soils and medicinal plants were not exceeded the Korean regulation.

The nation-wide medicinal plants list is prepared on the basis of the collected plant samples from 22 places of 9 regions where the authors possiblely surveyed and the references on field survey reported by others. No one has reported this kind of list before and the Engler's classification system is applied in this list instead of the previously applied Nakai's classification system. And also Korean name, occurrence, distribution, medicinal part, and name of crude drugs are described in the list. According to the results of this study, the number of the natural and cultivated medicinal plants in Korea are 950 kinds presently; i.e., 719 species, 1 subspecies, 209 varieties, 1 subvariety and 20 formas which belong to 142 families and 437 genera. Out of the 950 medicinal plants, cryptogamae are 22, herbs 550 and woodies are 278. The usual common drugs are 284 kinds and the allied plants are estimated 160 kinds. And there are some folk medicines and un-utillized medicinal plants.

Objective : For the purpose of developing Korean herbalogy of the plants to Violaceae in Korea, the literatures of the successive generations have been thoroughly investigated to prepare this article. Methods : The examined herbalogical books and research paper which published at home and abroad. Results : 1. Violaceae plants (raised in Korea) are devided into 1 classes with 57 species. Among them, 14 species in 1 classes were found serviceable, which indicates 32 % of all Violaceae plants. 2. The herb is main medicinal part if medicinal plants in the Violaceae, which is used in 14 species. 3. According to the nature and flavor of medicinal plants in the Violaceae, they were classified into cold 8 species, and cool 7; bitter taste 8; acrid taste and little bitter taste 6 in the order. 4. According to the meridian propism of medicinal plants in the Violaceae, they were classified into liver meridian 6 species, heart meridian 3 species in the order. 5. According to the properties and principal curative action, they were classified into drugs for clearing heat, removing toxins 12 species; drugs for alleviate edema 7, and drugs for arresting bleeding 6 in the order. 6.

To assess the antioxidative activity of 12 medicinal plants on lipid peroxidation, twelves traditional medicinal plants extracted with 95% methanol were investigated the antioxidative activity using DPPH, thiocyanate acid method, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods. Out of 12 medicinal plants extracted with methanol, the extraction yields of Sedum kamtschaticum was the highest values (49.46%) among them and Geranicum sibiricum, Saururus chinensis root (R), Agrimonia pilosa leaf (L), Agrimonia pilosa root was the lowest value (9.97%). Radical scavenging effect of the selected traditional medicinal plants extracted from different extract solution were examined by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical method. Antioxidative activity of methanolic extracts was higher than those of ethanol and n-hexane extracts. Scavenging effects in Sedum kamtaschaticum (R) determined by DPPH radical showed the highest among the 12 plants. The antioxidative effects of the first four medicinal plants were similar to those of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), but higher than that of tocopherol, which was used as a handled control. Antioxidative effects of each indicated concentration of the methanolic extracts on linoleic acid by thiocyanate method was the highest in Sedum kamtschaticum and followed by Geum japonicum and Agrimonia pilosa and their antioxidative effect were similar to those of BHA, and BHT, but higher than that of tocopherol. Antioxidative effects of the selected medicinal methanolic extract on linoleic acid by thiocyanate acid method were examined for 15 days. Peroxidation of control and tocopherol group occurred on days 5 and 9, respectively, but BHA, BHT, selected medicinal methanolic extract group did not occur until on day 15. Antioxidative effects of the selected medicinal methanolic extract on linoleic acid by TBA method were examined for 15 days. Antioxidative activity was similar to those obtained by thiocyanate acid method.
