Aconites distribute widely in northern hemispere of the earth reaching to arctic zone from warm and temperate one. Chinese crude drug 'Cho O'(草烏) has been used as a remedy for apoplexy, dyspepsia, neuralgia, chronic rheumatis etc. Though the botanical origin of the crude drug has been considered to be Aconitum species of Ranunculaceae, there has been no confirmation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of Cho O, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the roots of Aconitum species growing in Korea, i.e. A. chiisanense, A. ciliare, A. jaluense, A. napiforme, A. proliferum, A. pseudoproliferum and A. triphyllum were studied. As the result, Cho O was proved to be the roots of Aconitum triphyllum, A. jaluense, A. chiisanense and A. napiforme.

For the investigation of medicinal resources in Aconitum species, the studies were carried out to search the less toxic constituents than Aconitum alkaloid in the aerial part of Aconitum jaluense for. album (Ranunculaceae). From the BuOH fraction of MeOH extract, three flavonoid compounds, hyperoside(1), $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-_D-galactopyranoside(2)$, $kaempferol-3-O-{\alpha}-_L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-_D-glucopyranoside(3)$ were isolated and identified on the basis of their physico-chemical properties, spectroscopic evidences (UV, IR, NMR and Mass etc.) and comparison with authentics, respectively.

In the present study, we have examined the crossability of four species in the A. jaluense complex to provide additional information on their delimitation and levels of differentiation. Crosses between diploid A. chiisanense and the tetraploid species including A. jaluense s. str., A. triphyllum, and A. pseudoproliferum yielded no fruit- or seed-set, indicating that the former species is reproductively completely isolated from the latter three species. In interspecific crosses between the tetraploid species, combinations involving A. jaluense s. str. resulted in much reduced fruit- and seed-set, indicating that A. jaluense s. str. is more or less reproductively isolated from the other tetraploid species. However, crossing data revealed the absence of reproductive isolation between A. triphyllum and A. pseudoproliferum These results strongly support the relationships that have been previously suggested for the A. jaluense complex on the basis of morphology, chromosome number, and flavonoid chemistry.

Aconitum jaluense Komar. (Ranunculaceae) is one of the Aconitum plants growing in Korean peninsula. An investigation of the alkaloidal constituents of this species led to the isolation of seven $C_{19}$-norditerpenoid and a $C_{20}$-diterpenoid alkaloid. Three of them have been identified as neoline, mesaconitine, and hypaconitine, which were isolated from this plant collected from Mt. Bultasan in the north part. The other five alkaloids were determined as lipomesaconitine, lipohypaconitine, 15$\alpha$-hydroxyneoline, hokbusine A, and napelline, which have not been found in this plant. Structures of those alkaloids were determined on the basis of their spectral data. It is of interest to note that a comparison of the present work and the previous report showed some differences in the alkaloidal contents.

We have examined the pedicel pubescence and other major morphological characters of 11 putative hybrid populations of Aconitum subgn. Aconitum at Mt. Sobaek to understand their origin. These populations show very complicated patterns of variation in pedicel pubescence ; they contain individuals having pedicels (1) completely glabrous, (2) with few micropapillate curved hairs near the receptacle, (3) moderately pubescent with micropapillate curved hairs from middle to upper portion, (4) sparsely pubescent with a mixture of micropapillate curved hairs and smooth-surfaced spreading glandular hairs near the receptacle, and (5) moderately pubescent with both types of hairs but from middle to upper portion. All five types of individuals co-occur in most populations with varying proportions. These results, in conjunction with evidence from the analysis of other major morphological characters, suggest that the populations at Mt. Sobaek were derived from the multiple hybridization events involving A. kusnezoffii, A. japonicum subsup. napiforme, and A. jaluense subsp. jaluense. In addition, the absence of "typical" forms of these putative parental taxa in Mt. Sobaek area suggests that repeated introgression has probably occurred in these populations.

Aconitum kaimaense Uyeki & Sakata was first collected by Uyeki & Sakata at Bujeon Plateau in Hamgyongnam-do and reported as a new species and recorded in Enumeration of Korean Plants (Pak, 1949). A. kaimaense was taxonomically treated under the name of Aconitum jaluense Kom in A Revision of Aconitun Subgenus Aconitum (Ranunculaceae) of East asia. (Kadota, 1987), and it was also treated as synonym in Korea(1996, 2007, 2011). A. kaimaense has erect or apically slightly curved stem, dense corymb inflorescence, pubescent pedicels, yellowish white sepals and carpels 5(or 4) pubescent. In this study, to investigate the taxonomic location of A. kaimaense, we conducted literature observation, sample observations in KYO, TNS, KH, SNU, SKK, and field research in Korea. The distribution in Hongcheon, Pyeongchang, Jeongseon, and Yangyang of Gangwon-do was confimed.

To obtain the basic data for the conservation and cultivation of major native herb species under the trees, distribution of native herb species, and corrrlations between native herb species and site factors were studied on natural broadleaved forest in Mt. Gariwang and Mt. Jungwang, Pyeunchang-gun. 136 native herb species were distributed in studied area, and the importance percentage of Pseudostellaria heterophylla was proved the highest, 10.8%. The other major herb species were the following oders, Meehania urticifolia, Corydalis remota, Pimpinella brachycarpa, Carex siderosticta, Pseudostellaria palibiniana, Erythronium japonicum, Ligularia fischeri, Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum, Hylomecon vernalis and Astilbe rubra var. rubra. Highly positive correlations were proved Hepatica asiatica and Ainsliaea acerifolia, Pimpinella brachycarpa and Aconitum jaluense subsp. jaluense, Aconitum jaluense subsp. jaluense and Smilacina japonica var. japonica, Meehania urticifolia and Pseudostellaria palibiniana. Seven groups of native herb species were divided by cluster analysis. Preferring site factors for each native herb species were determined. Ligularia fischeri, Ainsliaea acerifolia, Parasenecio auriculata var. matsumurana, Erythronium japonicum and Pimpinella brachycarpa were distributed mainly on the higher sites, Ligularia fischeri were ditributed more frequently in deep soil sites. These results might be useful measures in the conservation and cultivation of native edible and medicinal herb species on the forest floor in the natual broadleaved forest, Pyeungchang-gun.

This study was conducted to maintain the productivity of forest production and byproducts production of natural forest. Distribution of wild edible herb species and correlations between wild edible herb species and forest-type, and site factors were surveyed on national forest in Changjeon-ni, Pyungchang-gun, Kang-won-do. Ligularia fischeri was distributed mainly on cutting sites or meadow or Quercus mongolica forest, Pimpinella brachycarpa did on broadleaved mixed forest, and Synurus deltoides did cutting sites or meadow. On conifer plantations major wild edible herb species were not distributed. Pimpinella brachycarpa and Ligularia fischera were distributed mainly on the site of wet soil-moisture condition, Codonopsis lanceolata, Saussurea grandifolia and Synurus deltoides were distributed randomly. The distribution of Ligularia fischeri and Pimpinella brachycarpa were significantly different between slope directions, but those of Codonopsis lanceolata, Saussurea grandifolia and Synurus deltoides were not significant. Ligularia fischeri and Pimpinella brachycarpa were distributed more frequently in north directed slope than the other. Highly positive correlations were proved Ligularia fischeri and Pimpinella brachycarpa, Aconitum jaluense and Veratrum patulum; Pimpinella brachycarpa and Smilacina japonica, Aconitum jaluense and Veratrum patulum.
