The taxonomic review of the family Trachipteridae was carried out based on the Trachipterus ishikawae (7 specimens), Zu cristatus (4 specimens), Desmodema polystictum (2 specimens) collected from the East Sea, South Sea and adjacent waters of Jeju Island of Korea from June 2006 to August 2008. Among them, D. polystictum was revealed as an unrecorded species from Korea, being characterized by the following characters: the ventral edge smooth; body color silvery white with a lot of large dark rounded spot. We proposed the new Korean name of the genus Desmodema as "Jeom-tu-ra-chi-sog", D. polystictum as "Jeom-tu-ra-chi". Z. cristatus has a elongated first six dorsal fin and pelvic fin rays. T. ishikawae has a row of sharp tubercles along the ventral edge, and straightly elongated body form. In meristic characters, the number of dorsal fin rays were 178~195 in T. ishikawae, 137~148 in Z. cristatus and 125~130 in D. polystictum, the number of vertebrae were well distinguished among three species; T. ishikawae (80~83), D. polystictum (72~74) and Z. cristatus (65~68).

The genus Stereum is consisted of species having smooth, binucleate amyloid spores, pseudocystidia and dimitic basidiocarps without clamps. There are five recorded species of Stereum in Korea. Through the specimen examination of Seoul National University Fungal Collection, five more species of Stereum, S. subtomentosum, S. peculiare, S. sanguinolentum, S. striatum and S. complicatum, were confirmed as unrecorded species to Korea. They are registered here with Korean names as well as English descriptions and a key to Korean Stereum species is attached together.

We report an unrecorded species of the genus Sorbaria (Rosaceae) in Korea, namely Sorbaria kirilowii (Regel & Tiling) Maxim. This plant was discovered both on Pocheon-si, Naecheon-myeon and Yeoju-gun, Buknae-myeon in Gyeonggi Province. It is distinguishable from Sorbaria sorbifolia (L.) A. Braun var. stellipila Maxim. by characteristics such as presence of hair on leaf and rachis, morphology of inflorescence, length and width of petal, shape of sepal, number and length of stamens, presence of hair upon and size of follicles. This taxon was given the Korean common name 'Jom-swi-ttang-na-mu' based on the small size of floral characters.

We report S. caricina (R. Br) Benth. (Cyperaceae) as an unrecorded species from Sinan-gun, Jeollanam Province on the Korean peninsula. This taxon was known to be distributed mainly in southeast Asia, China, Japan, and the northern part of Australia. S. caricina is distinguished from other species of the genus Scleria in Korea by having congested inflorescences, 3-toothed pistillate scales at the apex, and enclosed achenes in 2 scales. The new Korean common name, 'Ae-gi-gae-ol-mi', is given considering the small-size of the plants. A description based on the morphological characters and the illustrations of this species are provided with a taxonomic key to the species of Scleria in Korea.

Cyrtomium yamamotoi Tagawa is an unrecorded species of perennial Pteridophyta that belongs to the genus Cyrtomium of Dryopteriaceae. It is known as native to Taiwan, China and Japan, but we found it in Jeju-si, Jeju-do and Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea in 2018. This species is very similar to C. fortunei J.Sm. having characters such as 1 pinnate compound leaves, globular indusium, but distinguished from the latter by its lanceolate or lanceolate-ovate shaped lateral pinnates of less than 12 pairs, bicolor indusium with dark brown or blackish in center, and margin incised teeth. Here, we provide its description, photographs and a key of related taxa in Korea.

Although Apiospora Sacc. has previously been considered a sexual morph of Arthrinium species on the basis of phylogenetic, morphological, and ecological diagnoses, a recent study delimited these as different species. Recently, 14 species, including eight new species, of marine Arthrinium have been reported from Korea. Six known species have previously been renamed as species in the genus Apiospora (A. arundinis, A. marii, A. piptatheri, A. rasikravindrae, A. sacchari, and A. saccharicola). However, the eight new species of marine Arthrinium (Ar. agari, Ar. arctoscopi, Ar. fermenti, Ar. koreanum, Ar. marinum, Ar. pusillispermum, Ar. sargassi, and Ar. taeanense) are yet to be studied, and thus the taxonomic status of these species remains to be clarified. In this study, we conducted phylogenetic analyses using the internal transcribed spacer, 28S large subunit ribosomal RNA gene, translation elongation factor 1-alpha, and beta-tubulin regions to confirm the phylogenetic position of these eight species. Based on these analyses, we re-identified the eight Arthrinium species as new combinations in Apiospora. Additionally, among the six known Apiospora species, two (A. piptatheri and A. rasikravindrae) have not previously been recorded in Korea. On the basis of morphological and molecular analyses, we report these as new species in Korea. Herein, we present scanning electron micrographs detailing the morphologies of these species, along with phylogenetic trees and detailed descriptions.

Two unrecorded species (Sceptridium atrovirens and S. microphyllum), previously known only in Japan, were found in a forest in Dosun-dong, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do for the first time in Korea. S. atrovirens was distinguished from other related species of the genus Sceptridium in Korea by having the thickest rhizome and root, irregularly crenulate or roughly serrate, and a shorter sporophore blade. The local name was newly given as 'Sup-go-sa-ri-sam' for the species, denoting the habitat. S. microphyllum was distinguished by having the smallest plant height, compact sterile blades, and partly lateritious tropophyll in winter. The local name was newly given as 'Aegi-go-sa-ri-sam' for species, meaning of a small size. To reveal the interspecific relationships within the genus Sceptridium in Korea, cladistic analysis was performed for 27 morphological characteristics. The morphological characteristics and illustrations of the two taxa, as well as photographs at the habitat, are provided with a taxonomic key to the species of Sceptridium in Korea.

We have found the plants belonging to the genus Spartina which has not yet been reported for the flora of Korea. This has been distributed at Dongmak seashore in Ganghwado since 2012. These were identified as common cordgrass (Spartina anglica C. E. Hubb.) belonging to the family Poaceae, the genus Spartina. It is a perennial halophyte as an alien weed that can grow in the tidal flat, native to southern England. Here, we named it for 'Young-guk-Gaet-ggeun-pool' in Korean refer the origin, reported the distribution, spreading condition, and botanical characteristics of common cordgrass. In China, Spartina anglica was introduced in 1963, it was approved that it had benefit in a bioengineering side firstly. But it was known that as a highly invasive plant to make a monotype meadow of Spartina anglica which has deteriorate the ecological function of saltmarsh. And also it has another problem that is not easy to eradicate. The spreading of Spartina anglica which was appeared in the West coast of Korea may threaten severely to the domestic mudflat and estuary ecosystem. For the maintenance of mudflat ecosystem soundly, continuous monitoring and active eradication plans are required.

Two naturalized species, Chaerophyllum tainturieri Hook. (Umbelliferae) and Barbarea verna (Mill.) Asch. (Cruciferae) were newly reported from South Korea. C. tainturieri., 'Jeon-Ho-A-Jae-Bi', was found at World Cup park in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, in Seoul, and the genus Chaerophyllum is reported for the first time from South Korea in the present paper. It is distinguished from the genus Sphallerocarpus by having cylindrical fruit, and each furrow with one vitta. B. verna, 'Bom-Na-Do-Naeng-I', was found on a riverside area of Suyeong River, Geumsa-dong, in Busan. It can be distinguished from B. orthoceras by silique 4-8 mm long , seeds 1-2 mm long, and basal rosette leaves with a 4-11 large pairs of lateral lobes.
