미나리과(科) 식물(植物)의 과실(果實)에 관한 연구(硏究)(XI) -고본에 대하여-

In continuation of studies on the Umbelliferous fruits the inner morphology of 'Kobon' fruit was examined, 'Kobon' is an original plant of Korean Gaoben, its scientific name being given Angelica tenuissima NAKAI or Ligusticum tenuissimum KITAGAWA. The arrangement of vascular bundles is the same as those of the genus Ligusticum or Tilingia and Conioselinum. The tracheids reach nearly the top of the ribs, and this is similar to that of the genus Conioselinum. From these characters and the results of studies on the inner morphology of the fruits of Umbelliferous plants related to 'Kobon,' the origin of 'Kobon' was identified as the genus Conioselinum.
