Scutellaria tuberifera C. Y. Wu & C. Chen belonging to Lamiaceae, a species previously unrecorded for Korean flora, was collected streamside in the Andeok valley of Seogwipo-Si, on Jeju island. This species can be distinguished from others of Scutellaria from Korea by having rhizomes with leafless and branching stolons at the nodes, globose to ovoid tubers 5-7 mm in diameter at the terminal parts, and stems densely spreading pilose. Photos of the habit and illustration are provided.
