Phytochemical Screening of Korean Medicinal Plants I

In previous communications$^{1-6)}$, the results of the preliminary phytochemical examinatioins of 261 plant samples which have been used in medicine in Korea were reported. In continuation of this program we now present in Table I the results of chemical examination of another 92 species, belonging to 80 genera nad 48 families, which were screened for the presence of alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, and flavonoids. The list of folk medicines described by Lee$^{7)}$ was used as a guide in the selection of plants to be tested.
