Abstract

The recent publications of two major works from Ministry of Environment and Korea National Arboretum (Type specimens collected from Korea at the herbarium of the University of Tokyo, five volumes) and National Institute of Biological Resources (Korean type specimens deposited in foreign herbaria and museums, two volumes excluding other animal groups) on Korean vascular plants have resulted in discrepancies needing either correction or clarification. The former published the results of a portion of T. Nakai's collections deposited at TI, while the latter produced the results about collections of G. Koidzumi's, J. Ohwi's, and S. Kitamura's at Kyoto University and of E. H. Wilson's and H. Leveille's at Harvard University. Consequently some omissions, discrepancies, and conflicts resulted, such as the inclusion of conflicting designations of lectotype, isotype, syntype or holotype, erroneous citations of publications, and misinformation. Suh et al.'s publications about type specimens of Korean plants deposited at TI showed 47 conflicting typifications and 20 typographical and other errors. Type information offered by Yim et al. were discussed, and 75 conflicting typification and 30 typographical and other errors from these two volumes were also brought to notice. It is clear that Suh et al. and Yim et al. merely provided type information without consulting original description of each plant species. It is apparent that all these conflicting designation of types, erroneous citations of publications, and other types of misinformation were as a result of the disregard of original citation and the ignorance of basic type concept.

최근 환경부와 국립수목원에서 발간한 한반도의 관속식물의 기준표본 관련 자료인 Type specimens collected from Korea at the herbarium of the University of Tokyo (Suh et al.)와 국립생물자원관에서 발간한 Korean type specimens deposited in foreign herbaria and museums(해외기관소장 한반도 생물자원기준표본화보집, Yim et al.) 내용에 오류 확인과 정정이 필요하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 전자에 해당되는 자료는 동경대학(東京大學) 총합연구박물관(總合硏究博物館)(TI)에 소장되어 있는 T. Nakai의 수집품을 정리한 것이며, 후자의 경우는 G. Koidzumi, J. Ohwi, S. Kitamura 등 경도대학(京都大學) 연구자와 하버드대학 E. H. Wilson, H. Leveille의 수집품을 정리한 내용이다. 두 간행물은 lectotype, isotype, syntype 또는 holotype 등의 잘못된 지정과 기재문 및 관련 정보에 대한 오류 등을 범하고 있다. 특히, Suh et al.은 TI에 소장되어 있는 한반도 식물의 기준표본을 정리한 출판물에서는 47개의 기준표본 지정 오류와 20개의 지명 및 문헌 등의 기재에 오류가 있었고, Yim et al.은 2권의 책자에 정리한 기준표본 정보는 75개의 지정 오류와 30개의 지명 및 문헌 등 기재 오류가 확인되었다. Suh et al.과 Yim et al.은 기재문 확인 연구가 없이 단순히 기준표본에 대한 정보만을 제공하고 있어 이런 기준 표본 오류가 발생하였다. 또한, 기재문 및 다른 관련 정보에 대한 오류는 원기재문의 미확인과 기준표본에 대한 기본적인 개념부재가 원인이라고 판단된다.
