鬱陵島의 有用植物 資源 蒐集

Exploration of useful plants in Ulreung island

A exploration mission was carried out in the Ulreung island which is located at the middle of the East Sea in Korean peninsular for conserving and utilizing useful plants as promising germplasms. The focus of this mission was collecting wild flowers and ornamental plants. Due to natural isolation of the island from the Korean peninsular, it was proven the flora of the island to be particular. Totally, 31 families, 45 genera and 49 species were collected, such as 7 samples of wild flowers, 4 flowering trees, 6 garden trees, 7 medicinal plants, 3 edible plants, 6 specific indigenous plants of the island and 3 species of the cultivated plants as well.
