This study was carried out to clarify the distribution of vascular plants and their usefulness in Gongdeoksan of Mungyeong, Gyeongbuk (913m, N $36^{\circ}$ $46^{\prime}$ $37.5^{\prime\prime}$${\sim}$$36^{\circ}$ $43^{\prime}$ $61.0^{\prime\prime}$, $E128^{\circ}$ $15^{\prime}$ $00.3^{\prime\prime}$${\sim}$$128^{\circ}$ $17^{\prime}$ $57.9^{\prime\prime}$). The vascular plants collected 5 times (from May to September 2007) were consisted of total 429 taxa; 86 famailies, 279 genera, 374 species, 4 subspecies, 44 varieties and 7 forms. Among them, edible, medicinal, industrial, ornamental and usefulness unknown plants were 233 taxa, 297 taxa, 113 taxa, 111 taxa, 43 taxa, respectively. Korean endemic plants of this area were 5 taxa, and Law-protected plants by Ministry of Environment were 1 taxa, and the special plants species based on floral region by Ministry of Environment were 5 taxa in grade III category, 1 taxa in grade IV and grade V category. The naturalized plants were 15 taxa, therefore naturalized ratio was 3.5%, and urban index 5.5%.
