Thymus quinquecostatus var. magnus (Nakai) Kitam., an endemic taxon in Ulleung Island, is lectotypified. The lectotype is designated based on careful examination of the original materials (deposited in TI) cited in the protologue of the variety. In addition, taxonomic identity of T. quinquecostatus var. japonicus H. Hara, a problematic name often mistakenly referred to the above taxon, was throughly reexamined.

Type specimens (deposited at TI) for 55 Nakaian taxa described from Ulleung Island were examined. Four taxa of those were confirmed as simple name combinations. Excluding 15 taxa which have already been lectotypified, lectotypes for 25 taxa including Arabis takesimense Nakai, Fagus multineruis Nakai, and Salix ishidoyana Nakai were designated in here. Validity of publication for the names of five taxa was not confirmed here. Type specimens for the remaining six taxa need further examination.

According to Article 9.3 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants(Shenzhen Code), a lectotype may be selected as the nomenclatural type from the original material, if the name was published without a holotype. While reviewing the genus Scrophularia collected in Northeast Asia, we found that two species, S. alata A. Gray and S. kakudensis Franch., were still untypified. S. alata has three specimens considered as syntypes in two herbaria, Harvard University and the Smithsonian Institution. For S. kakudensis, two specimens considered as syntypes at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris were classified as normal specimens, not type specimens. Therefore, two species of Scrophularia L. namely, S. alata A. Gray and S. kakudensis Franch., are lectotypified. The lectotypes are kept in the Harvard University and the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, respectively. Furthermore, some nomenclatural issues related to these names are discussed, and the photographs of the selected lectotypes are provided.

Systematic studies for genus Anaphalis in Koreaare relatively scarce. As a fundamental step to further taxonomic studies of this genus, we here propose lectotype for A. morii, endemic taxa in Korea with a brief re-evaluation of its taxonomic entity. During the examination of herbarium specimen for A. morii, we found nine sheets of five collections in three herbaria. Among the original materials, we selected a specimen in TI which was first cited by the author and include an additional annotation, matching with his own description. Also, we were able to determine the taxonomic relationships between A. morii and its relatives, A. yakusimensis. Based on our observation, we identified that several morphological characters are clearly differ from A. yakusimensis occurring only Isl. Yakushima in Japan.

Seven species and two varieties belonging to the genus Boehmeria Jacq. (Urticaceae) are known to be distributed in Korea. Among them, B. spicata, B. tricuspis, and B. tricuspis var. unicuspis were subjected to an external morphological study. Among the individuals believed to exhibit variations in the leaf shape, B. gracilis and B. silvestrii were newly recognized. Unlike related taxa, B. gracilis has middle leaves with an elliptic, broadly elliptic, ovate, or broadly depressed ovate shape, a regular and serrulate-dentate margin, and an unlobed and short caudate or cuspidate apex. Boehmeria silvestrii has middle leaves with 5-angled ovate, orbicular ovate or broadly ovate shapes, and 3- or 5-lobed and caudate apices. Therefore, we assigned the corresponding names 'Top-geo-buk-kko-ri' and 'Cham-geo-buk-kko-ri'. Meanwhile, the B. spicata complex (B. gracilis, B. silvestrii, B. spicata, and B. tricuspis var. unicuspis) is very closely related in terms of the morphological characters, whereas B. tricuspis exhibits no relationship. Furthermore, because the scientific name and type specimen of B. tricuspis var. unicuspis (Pul-geo-buk-kko-ri) are problematic, the correct name B. paraspicata Nakai and corresponding holotype are presented. Additionally, lectotypes of B. gracilis and B. silvestrii are newly designated here. A taxonomic treatment, descriptions, a key, photographs, type specimens, and leaf variation images of the B. spicata complex are provided in this study.
