Abstract

The plant names Hwangjeong and Wiyu were written in Chinese characters in Hyang-yak-jib-seong-bang during the early Chosen dynasty. However, soon after, Hwangjeong and Wiyu were written in Korean characters as Jukdae and Dung-gul-re, respectively. However, since under the Japanese imperialist period in Korea, the taxonomic identities of these two Korean names have been incorrectly understood, with scientific names incorrectly assigned as well to these two names thus far. The results of the present study prove that Hwangjeong is Polygonatum sibiricum and that its Korean name should be Jukdae, its initial Korean name, and not Cheung-cheung-gal-go-ri-dung-gul-re, as used recently. Meanwhile, during the Japanese imperialist period, Wiyu was termed P. officinale or P. japonicum with the Korean name of Dung-gul-re. However, the correct scientific names were shown to be synonyms of P. odoratum.

한자로 표기된 식물명 황정과 위유는 조선시대에 편찬된 "향약집성방"에 처음 나오는데, 이후 조선시대에는 이들을 한글명으로 죽대와 둥굴레로 각각 불러 왔다. 그러나 일제강점기에 발간된 문헌에는 한글명 죽대, 한자명 황정에 이들의 분류학적 실체와는 무관한 학명들과 한글명이 부여되어 있었으나, 이러한 오류가 수정되지 않고 오늘날까지 이르렀다. 본 연구 결과, 한자명 황정, 한글명 죽대의 분류학적 실체는 Polygonatum sibiricum으로 확인되었고, 그에 따라 현재 사용하고 있는 한글명 층층갈고리둥굴레보다는 죽대로 사용하는 것이 타당함이 밝혀졌다. 한편, 한자명 위유와 한글명 둥굴레는 P. odoratum으로 파악되었는데, 일제 강점기에는 이 학명의 이명으로 간주되는 학명들이 한자명 위유와 한글명 둥굴레에 부여되었음이 확인되었다.
