우리나라 미기록 종인 닭의장풀과(Commelinaceae)의 고깔닭의장풀(Commelina benghalensis L.)과 큰닭의장풀(Commelina diffusa Burm. f.) 2종이 제주도의 저지대에서 채집되었다. 고깔닭의장풀은 불염포의 밑 부분이 합생하여 깔때기 모양을 하고 폐쇄화를 갖는다는 점에서 나머지의 다른 종들과 구분이 된다. 큰닭의장풀은 삭과가 3개의 과피편으로 되어 있고, 불염포상 총포편이 피침형이면서 심장저 또는 원저라는 점에서 나머지 다른 종들과 구분된다. 염색체수는 고깔닭의장풀이 2n = 2x = 22(2배체)이며, 염색체 크기가 1.25-2.70 ${\mu}m$로 매우 작았고, 큰닭의장풀은 2n = ca. 100 이상으로 정확한 수를 알 수 없었다. 이 종들은 지금까지는 아시아와 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대에 분포하여 우리나라보다 남쪽에만 분포하는 것으로 알려져 왔다.

Invasive alien species management is pivotal for biodiversity conservation. Commelina caroliniana Walter, from the family Commelinaceae, is an alien plant native to the Himalayas and India, but it has been widely introduced around the world, including in the United States, Brazil, Philippines, and Japan. In Korea, the first population was found growing adjacent to agricultural land and farm roads on Jejudo Island, and field observations confirmed the presence of at least nine populations there. It is similar morphologically to C. diffusa Burm. f. but can be distinguished by involucral bracts that are ciliate at the base, hairs on the peduncle and obsolete upper cincinnus, brown spots on its 4-lobed antherode, and seed surfaces that are smooth to slightly alveolate. It was determined to have an invasiveness low score of 8 according to the Korean 'Invasive Alien Plant Risk Assessment', suggesting that it may spread to natural habitats. Although the current distribution of C. caroliniana is restricted to Jeju-si, it has spread dramatically in many other areas of the world. At present, it has had a limited impact on the local environment, but local and regulatory authorities should pay close attention to this plant and take measures to prevent its expansion in the future.
