  • A study on the fine structure of the genus Achnanthes species (Bacillariophyceae) is carried out at 92 stations for taxonomic purposes from January 2009 to April 2013 in Korean marine water, freshwater and brackish water. Twelve Achnanthes species are identified based on a variety of taxonomic characters by means of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Of these, seven species, Achnanthes cocconeioides, A. groenlandica, A. javanica, A. kuwaitensis, A. parvula, A. pseudolongipes, and A. yaquinensis, are newly recorded in Korean waters. All 12 species are documented concerning a taxonomic key, description, distribution, seasonality, remarks and photographs. Twenty three Achnanthes taxa are identified in the survey.

  • To use the precise scientific name of the genus Gymnogobius from Korea, a taxonomic review of the genus Gymnogobius was made based on specimens collected in streams and estuaries of Korea from 1982 to 2007. The genus Gymnogobius in Korea includes 7 species: Gymnogobius breunigii (Steindachner), G. heptacanthus (Hilgendorf), G. macrognathos (Bleeker), G. mororanus (Jordan and Snyder), G. opperiens Stevenson, G. petschiliensis (Rendahl), G. urotaenia (Higendorf). A key to species of the genus Gymnogobius from Korea is provided, with description of their morphological characteristics and their distribution.

  • Vicia bifolia Nakai (Fabaceae) and Cyperus compressus L. (Cyperaceae) have been ambiguous in terms of their distribution and taxonomic entities in Korea. The existence of these two taxa was confirmed when V. bifolia and C. compressus was found on Jellabuk-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, and Jeju-do. Vicia bifolia is similar to V. unijuga by having a pair of leaflets but is distinguished by the length of the petiole, the size and degree of longevity of the bracts, and the shape of the stipules. Cyperus compressus was found on Jeju-do, is similar to C. tenuispica, C. haspan, and C. flaccidus, but is distinguished by the branching pattern of the inflorescences and the size of scales and achenes. A description, differences from related species, a key to the taxa and photographs of Korean Vicia bifolia and Cyperus compressus are provided in this study.

  • The taxonomic review of the family Triglidae was made based on the specimens collected from the south-western coasts of Korea from 1986 to 1999. The family Triglidae from Korea was classified into 10 species belonging to 3 genera: Pterygotrigla hemisticta, Chelidonichthys kumu, Lepidotrigla, japonica. L. guentheri, L. alata, L. kishinouyei, L. kanagashira, L. microptera, L. hime and L. abyssalis. Of them, L. kanagashira was reported for the first time in South Sea of Korea. A key to species of the family Triglidae from Korea was provided, with description of their morphological characteristics and their distribution.

  • Phytoliths formed on the leaf-blades of the seventeen Oryza species were examined using back-scattered electron imaging. The resulting descriptions of the phytoliths became the basis for a new key to the species of the genus. This key includes features useful for specific identification related to the silica bodies originating from epidermal cells upon both the mid-vein and bulliform cell, as well as of phytoliths originating from papillae, prickle hairs, large and small trichomes, and stomatal apparatus. These detailed phytolith descriptions, back-scattered electron images, and keys to both adaxial and abaxial sides of leaves, can now be used in identifying phytoliths from archaeological samples as well as extant species of Oryza.
