The distribution of the woody plants of South Korea based on herbarium (SNUA) material of The Arboretum (VIII) : Daphniphyllaceae & Myricaceae

Abstract

To clarify the taxonomy of Daphniphyllum (Daphniphyllaceae) and Myrica(Myricaceae), herbarium specimens collected from South Korea past forty years were examined on the basis of leaf, flower and fruit morphology. Morphological examinations showed that two taxa of Daphniphyllum could be recognized in Korea. D. macropodum is distributed from Japan, Korea to Indochina through China. D. oldhamii in China was considered to be a possible synonym of D. teijsmannii in southern islands of Korea and the coastline of Japan. The distribution of Myrica rubra was more like that of D. macropodum
