Prunus speciosa (Koidz.) Nakai belonging to Prunoideae of Rosaceae, a species previously unrecorded in Korean flora, is described. Prunus speciosa (Koidz.) Nakai is similar to Prunus sargentii Rehder and Prunus jamasakura Siebold ex Koidz., but different because it has toothed lobes of calyx tubes with the apex of leaf serrations aristate. This species is naturalized widely in the eastern parts of Jeju Island but is endemic to Japan.

DPPH radical-generating system was used to evaluate the antioxidant properties of the Rosaceae. The inhibitory effects of ethanolic extracts from Rosaceae plants were investigated on melanin biosynthesis which is closely related to hyperpigmentation. Of the Rosaceae extracts, Prunus sargentii, Rubus coreanus, Chaenomeles sinensis, Photinia glabra and Pyrus pyrifolia showed a potent inhibition of tyrosinase, the enzyme which converts 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) alanine (dopa) to dopachrome in the melanin biosynthetic process. Furthermore, MMT assay was used to check the cytotoxicity of extracts on the human foreskin fibroblast cell line, Hs68. Among the Rosaceae, bark of Prunus sargentii, bark wood of Photinia glabra and all parts or Chaenomeles sinensis showed more than $50\%$ inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase activity at 100 ug/mL and more than $80\%$ of strong DPPH radical-scavenging activity at 10 ug/mL. In audition to, they had no cytotoxic activity on Hs68. These results suggest that these extracts might be except a controler in pigmentation.

Two lignans, (+)-8-hydroxypinoresinol (compound) and (-)-olivil (compound 2), were isolated together with betulin (compound 3) from the aerial parts of Sorbaria sorbifolia var. stellipila Max. (Rosaceae). Their structures were characterized by physicochemical and spectral means.

Five phenolic compounds have been isolated from the stems and leaves of Rosa rugosa Thunb. (Rosaceae) in Korea. They were methyl gallate and catechin from the stems, and quercetin, methyl gallate and hyperin from the leaves respectively. The structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods.

Perforated ray cells are recorded for the first time in the Korean hardwoods of Rosa multiflora, Rosa multiflora var. platyphylla, Rosa rugosa, Spiraea cantoniensis, and Stephanandra incisa belonging to the family Rosaceae. The perforated ray cells have simple perforations, which are identical with the types of perforation plates in the vessel elements of same wood.

Investigation of the fruits of Chaenomeles sinensis (Rosaceae) resulted in the isolation of a minor flavonoid. The structure of flavanone glycoside was determined to be as $2-hydroxynaringenin-7-O-{\beta}-glucoside$ on the basis of FAB-MS and spectral evidence, especially by 2D-NMR $(^1H-^1H\;COSY,\;HMQC,\;HMBC\;and\;NOESY)$.

For the investigation of medicinal resources in Crataegus species, the present study was carried out to evaluate the pharmaco-constituents in the leaves of Crataegus Pinnatifida var. psilosa (Rosaceae). Fruits has folk medicine in Korea. From the $Et_{2}$O fraction of MeOH extract, a new compound, apigenin-8-C-(6"-acetyl)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, named psilosin and three known compounds, ursolic acid, phytosterol complex and (-)-epicatechin were isolated and identified on the basis of their physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic evidences (UN, IR, NMR and mass etc.) in comparison with authentics, respectively.

Three compounds were isolated from the chloroform and n-butanol extracts of Filipendula glaberrima (Rosaceae). The structures of these isolates were elucidated as monotropitin, (+)-catechin, and ${\beta}-sitosteryl-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ by spectroscopic analysis, and were identified by comparison of their spectra with those of reported ones.
