This study was carried out to clarify the distribution of vascular plants and their usefulness in Podosan of Yeongyang, Gyeongbuk (748m, N $36^{\circ}$ $31^{\prime}$ $79.1^{\prime\prime}$$\sim$$36^{\circ}$ $30^{\prime}$ $16.8^{\prime\prime}$$\sim$, E $129^{\circ}$ $12^{\prime}$ $43.8^{\prime\prime}$$\sim$$129^{\circ}$ $14^{\prime}$ $07.1^{\prime\prime}$). The vascular plants collected 5 times (from May to September 2007) were consisted of total 437 taxa; 88 famailies, 267 genera, 384 species, 4 subspecies, 43 varieties and 6 forms. Among them, edible, medicinal, industrial, ornamental and usefulness unknown plants were 211 taxa, 229 taxa, 85 taxa, 71 taxa, 105 taxa, respectively. Korean endemic plants of this area were 9 taxa, and the special plants species based on floral region by Ministry of Environment were 13 taxa in grade III category, 4 taxa in grade IV category. The naturalized plants were 17 taxa, therefore naturalized ratio was 3.9%, and urban index 6.3%.
