According to meridian propism of medicinal plants in the Gymnospermae, they were classified into spleen meridian 12 genera, lung meridian 11, liver meridian 9, heart meridian 7. 5. According to the properties and principal curative action, they were classified into drugs for relieve wind and moisture 37 genera, drugs for relieve pain 21, drugs for hemostasis 15, drugs to activity 14. 6. It was researched that toxic medicinal plants include toxin were 8 kinds.

This study was carried out in Mt. Backdu which is located at the borderland between Korea and China, to offer the information and help the people who in order to study and utilize the northernresource plants in future. Actually, the exploration and investigation were executed only in china sideof Mt. Backdu and its outskirts.Totally, 100 families, 281 genus and 703 species were investigated. They were classified into 26 spe-cies of pteridophyta, 14 species of gymnospermae, 101 species of monocotyledons and 562 species of di-cotyledons by general taxonomic classification, and 594 medicinal plants(84.5% ), 296 ornamentalplants(38.3% ), 161 edible plants(22.9% ), 92 industrial plants, 67 honey plants and 17 forage plantsby use.

Pollinosis usually caused by the airborne pollen grains, is an allergical disease which causes snivel and sneeze. The author has studied on airborne pollen grains collected at Chong-ro district in Seoul about 15m from April 1975 to March 1976. The obtained grains were 4 spp. of Gymnospermae, 19 spp. of Dicotyledoneae and 10 spp. of Monocotyledoneae. The tree season ranged from March to June, Alnus, Pinus and Acer were prevalent. The grass season ranged from May to October, Gramineae were prevalent. The weed season ranged from August, Artemisia were prevalent and ragweed was found.

Pen-tsao-kang-mu(Bon-cho-kang-mok), chinese medicinal plant book, was written by Si-jin Lee, 1578, China. The subject of this study were 210 articles of grain part in Pen-tsao-kang-mu. Among them only 193 articles were able to be identified by authority of several references. By Engler's system they were classified into 4 divisions, 5 classes, 3 subclasses, 28 orders, 17 suborders, 46 families, 95 genera, 100 species, 11 varieties and 1 form, and were confirmed 112 kinds of original plants. Among the divisions, angiospermae was the most numerous division with 107 kinds(91.98%) and the second division was gymnospermae with 3 kinds(2.70%). The next were phaeophyta and fungi with 1 kind(0.90%) on each. Other 17 articles were unable to be classified because of their ambiguous name.

The plant entries in the part of herbs in Ben Cao Gang Muwas classified according to the protocols of Engler and other botanists. Total numbers of plant written in chinese names were 635. Among them only 432 entries were able to be classified by elucidation of several references. They were classified as eight Divisions, 13 Classes, nine Subclasses, 60 Orders, 38 Suborders, 119 Families, 304 Genera, 377 Species with 25 Varieties and one Forma. According to the category of division, the Angiospermae was the largest group of 94 Families, 276 Genera, 348 Species, 24 Varieties and one Forma, whereas only one Genus and one Species belonged to Fungi and the Gymnospermae.

Though it is not easy for those who study dendrology to memorize all the scientific names of trees, the names remaines in their memory can facilitate the understanding of foreign technical books. The scientific name of a tree indicates characteristics of shape, color, and other aspects of the tree and by analyzing the name we can see common element found in other scientific names of trees. It is helpful to those who want to memorize and study the scientific names of trees if they understand their etymology. The preseut study is the seconds report of the investigation which aims at examining the etymology of the scientific names of native and foreign trees growing in Korea and their original names not only at the habitat but in Japan, China, England, Germany, and France. While the first report, which was made known in Theses Vol. 9. (The City College of Seoul 1975), is the examination of the scientific names of trees belonging to Gymnospermae, the present report is that of scientific names of trees belonging to Piperales: 2 families, 2 genera and 2 species; and trees belonging to Salicales: 1 family, 3 genera, 44 species, 16 varieties, and 3 forms. As the etymology of the scientific names of trees is made clear, this study will help those who want memorize the scientific names and study foreign technical books and it is also useful for international interchange of trees. The classification is depended chiefly on Dendrology by Prof. Lee Tchang-bok and "Plant Resources of Korea" shown in Biblography No. 10; the native names of trees on Jumoku Daizusetsu by Dr. Uehara; and etymology on A source-Book of Biological Names and Terms by E.C. Jager. In the column of etymology of the scientific names for genera, species, varieties and forms, Gr. stands for Greek, L. for Latin, NL. for New Latin, and genit. for genitive.

The emergence of local ecologically important species, set the correct range for the core and buffer zone, transition zone, coded will be necessary, the distribution of the specialty plant areas and rare plants, an area management plan should be organized by nature. In addition, a variety of assessment techniques and accurate data to establish the validity of the core area is also set to acquire.

In the taxon of genus, Brassica(14 species), Prunus(9), Lactuca(9), Allium(7), Citrus(5), Cucumis(4), Cichorium(4) in order contain many species. Among tile edible plants, Chamjuknamu(Cedrela sinensis) is wrongly named Gajuknamu(Ailanthns altissima). And there are others which are called in a wrong way: Endive is wrongly called Chicory, Saeneutaribeoseot, Saesongi and Padeudeknamul(Japanese hornwort), Chamnamul.

Fall has the most edible plants, and it is followed by spring, summer and winter. The edible parts of plants which are sold at the market are leaves, young sprouts, fruits, grains, roots, stems and petioles.
