Most of the plants and trees are landscaping plants at the university campus, Thus, the natural flora can be found on sidewalks like urban area. In order to investigate the flora on sidewalks of the university campus, the vegetation survey was done. The study site is Natural Science Campus, Sungkyunkwan University which is located at Suwon, Korea. Vascular plants surveyed were consisted of 130 taxa, 39 families, 99 genera, 115 species, 15 varieties. Indigenous weeds was 101 species (77.7%). Naturalized weeds was 29 species (22.3%). In the families, Compositae 30 species (23%), Gramineae 18 species (14%), Leguminosae 9 species (7%), Caryophyllaceae 8 species (6%), Cruciferae 8 species (6%), Polygonaceae 5 species (4%), Euphorbiaceae 5 species (4%), Scrophulariaceae 4 species (3%), Rosaceae 3 species (2%), Violaceae 3 species (2%), Convolvulaceae 3 species (2%) and etc. 34 species (27%). Life Form of flora in the site by Raunkiaer classification was Therophytes 67 species (51.5%), Hemicryptophytes 46 species (35.4%), Geophytes 8 species (6.2%), Nanophanerophytes 4 species (3.1%), Phanerohytes 3 species (2.3%) and Chamaephytes 2 species (1.5%). Naturalized Ratios was 10.7%.

The effect of characteristic of mixture sowing combination on the development of botanical composition was conducted for 12 years on the meadow experiment. The results of this study were summarized as follows. 1. Festuca pratensis lost the expected position of a dominant species. Its vegetation ratio decreased gradually until the last survey year. 2. Arrhenatherum elatius, known as a typical 2-cutting grasss, developed to a dominant species only in the 3- cutting plot without limitation. 3. Alopecurus pratensis, whose feeding value diminishes rapidly, developed to a dominant species regardless of N-fertilization under the condition of 3-cutting, even though the same small amount of seeding was introduced as usual. 4. Trisetum flavescens which causes calcinose exceeded the 40% of vegetation ratio which was the approved rate for feeding at the high N-level (2OOKgIha). 5. Among the introduced, the species showed the significance in quantity were Lotus corniculafus solely in the 2-cutting plot, and Trifolium repens solely in the 3-cutting plot. In the 3-cutting plot legume yet remained under N-fertilization. 6. The appropriate ratio of vegetation for the subordinate species in the mixture sowing combination was easily attained from the least amount of seeding (Gramineae with max. 3Kg/ha, Leguminosae with max. 2kgIha). 7. Into the mixture sowing combination, infiltrated unintroduced species marked more noticeably in the 2- cutting plot than in the 3-cutting plot.

All fifteen flavonoids (1-15) have been isolated from the roots of Sophora flavescens (Leguminosae) as active principles of the cytotoxic property toward human tumor cell lines such as A549, SK-OV-3, SK-Mel-2, XF498 and HCT15, in vitro. By means of spectral analyses, particularlyby the aid of various two dimensional NMR experiments, all $^1H-NMR$ ad $^{13}C$ -NMR signals of 1-15 were completely assigned, and thus the structures of 1-15 were established unambiguously.

Experimental studies were made with Melilotus officinalis extract which was extracted from flowers and leaves of Melilotus officinalis Dsr. (Leguminosae). In this paper, acute toxicity, analgesic action, prolongation of hypnosis time by induced pentobarbital-Nain mice, antiinflammatory effect in rats and effects on isolated intestines of mice and rats were studied, The result was as follows; 1. Very low toxicity in mice. 2. Analgesic action was recognized markedly in mice. 3. Prolongation of hypnosis time induced by pentobarbital-Na in mice was shown. 4. Relaxing action was shown on the isolated ileum in mice and antagonistic action was seen on $BaCl_2-induced$ contraction of the ileum that the relaxing effect of the intestinal smooth muscle was recognized. 5.Antiinflammatory effect was shown markedly in mice. 6.Hypotensive and vaso-dilating actions due to the vascular smooth muscle relaxation were noted in rabbits.

A simple reversed phase HPLC method was established for quantitative determination of liquiritigenin (1), genistein (2), isoliquiritigenin (3), and 7-hydroxyflavanone (4) from stems of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn (Leguminosae) using a binary gradient of $H_2O$ and MeOH as a mobile phase with UV detection at 280 nm. All calibration curves showed good linear regression ($r^2$ > 0.998) within test ranges. The detection limits of the four compounds were $0.43{\sim}1.63{\mu}g/mL$. The contents of four flavonoids (1 - 4) from the stem of S. suberectus were 6.54 mg/g, 1.66 mg/g, 6.65 mg/g, and 1.93 mg/g, respectively.

Two soyasaponins were isolated from the aerial parts of Astragalus tribuloides Del. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical methods. In addition, ursolic acid, ${\beta}-sitosterol\;{\beta}-D-glucoside$ and isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside were isolated and identified by comparing their mp, spectral and chromatographic data with those of authentic samples. This is the first report of screening and isolation of the chemical constituents of this species of genus Astragalus.

A new unsaturated hydroxy acid was isolated from the stem bark extract of Albizzia julibrissin through repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The chemical structure of the new acid was determined as (E)-4-hydroxy-dodec-2-enedioic acid on the basis of several spectral data including 2D-NMR. The stereochemical feature of the double bond was determined to be E on the basis of the coupling pattern of related proton signals in the $^1H-NMR$ and COSY experiments.

This study was carried out to investigate the phytosociological method for analyzing vegetation composition, which would be one of the major keys of land use in Sinchun stream side-bed. The obtained results were as follows As the result of survey, following flora were observed. Most of plants composed of Graminea,Compositae, Leguminosae and Poligonaceae, 23, 17, 13 arid 9 species, respectively. In upper stream side-bed, E crus-galli var. caudata and Phragmites communis were well growed,which were effective for cleansing water. Otherwise both Polygonum species and Rumex were profused in Mid-stream side-bed and Down-stream side-bed, these plants were well growed in polluted stream. Key words: Phytosociological, Polluted stream, Sinchun stream side-bed, Taegu city.
