  • The taxonomic revision of the family Scorpaenidae was conducted based on the specimens collected from the coasts of the Korean Peninsula from 1989 to 1992. The scorpionfishes of Korea are composed of 30 species in 8 genera, and the keys to species and genera are provided with svnonvms and their distributions. Four species newly reported from Korea are redescribed and figured: Sebastiscus tenius (Barsukov et Chen), Sebastes steindachneri Hilgendorf, S. minor Barsukov and S. zonatus Chen et Barsukov. It is noted that the genus Sebastes comprise 18 species in Korean waters without endemics. Most species of the Korean scorrionfishes are shared with Japanese and Taiwanese faunas including temperate and tropical scorpionfishes. Most Sebastes species are recognized as temperate elements but other genera of this family are regarded as tropical elements.

  • A taxonomic revision of Deutzia in Korea was conducted based on critical observations of wild populations and herbarium specimens. Species delimitations were re-evaluated on the basis of morphological characters and distributions resulting in the recognition of five taxa. The texture of leaf, flower disk and capsules, the shape of leaf, inflorescence and capsules are useful diagnostic traits at the specific level. The five taxa are well distinguished from each other. Deutzia grandiflora var. baroniana can be distinguished by its distribution and calyx from Deutzia uniflora, which are morphologically similar. Deutzia paniculata Nakai, a rare and endemic plant, is characterized by having panicle in inflorescences. On the other hand, Deutzia glabrata Kom. is occasionally confused with Deutzia parviflora, but the most distinctive characters include the surface of leaves, the surface and size of capsules. Photographs and a key to five species of Deutzia were provided in addition to distribution.

  • Aconitum kaimaense Uyeki & Sakata was first collected by Uyeki & Sakata at Bujeon Plateau in Hamgyongnam-do and reported as a new species and recorded in Enumeration of Korean Plants (Pak, 1949). A. kaimaense was taxonomically treated under the name of Aconitum jaluense Kom in A Revision of Aconitun Subgenus Aconitum (Ranunculaceae) of East asia. (Kadota, 1987), and it was also treated as synonym in Korea(1996, 2007, 2011). A. kaimaense has erect or apically slightly curved stem, dense corymb inflorescence, pubescent pedicels, yellowish white sepals and carpels 5(or 4) pubescent. In this study, to investigate the taxonomic location of A. kaimaense, we conducted literature observation, sample observations in KYO, TNS, KH, SNU, SKK, and field research in Korea. The distribution in Hongcheon, Pyeongchang, Jeongseon, and Yangyang of Gangwon-do was confimed.
