Objectives : The plans can be used for medicinal purposes among Rhamnales in korea and examined their effects and distributions. Methods : The examined herbalogical books and research papers which published at home and abroad. Results : 1. There are up to 10 genera and 35 species in the Rhamnales in Korea, and among them medicinal plants are 9 genera, 17 species, some 45% in total. 2. Rhamnella genus is the main kind that has 9 species among 35 species in the Rhamnales, of which medicinal plants are 4 species. 3. The cortex in the Rhamnales is the main part which is used medicinally. And the number of the species in the Rhamnales which are used medicinally is 16. 4. According to the nature and flavor of medicinal plants in the Rhamnales, they were classified into balance 33 species, and warm 13; sweet taste 28 and bitter taste 24 in the order. 5. According to meridian propism of medicinal plants in the Rhamnales, they were classified into heart meridian 8 species, stomach meridian 7, and liver meridian 6 in the order. 6. According to the properties and principal curative action, they were classified into drugs for detoxicant 30 species. drugs for antifebrile 23, and drugs for drain damp 13 in the order. 7. The number of toxic species in the Rhamnales was examined to be 6 species. Conclusion : There were totaled to 10 genera and 35 species in Rhamnales in Korea and among them medicinal plants are 9 genera, 17species, some 45% in total.

The purpose of this study was to understand the geographical and environmental distribution of animals and plants in Baekdudaegan region using field survey and GIS data. Crucial factors were selected and analyzed to understand the distributional characteristics of wild animals (16 species in 5 orders) and rare endemic plants (20 species in 12 orders). These crucial factors include stand factor (forest type, DBH class, and crown density), soil factor (bed rock, soil texture, and organic matter), geographical factor (elevation, slope, aspect) and climatic factor (temperature, rain fall, humidity). Finally, ten crucial factors were selected by statistical analysis and categorized for analyzing geographical and environmental features. Three orders such as Rodentia, Carnivora, and Artiodactula in wild animal showed the similar habitat characteristics with the small diameter and the elevation range from 801 to 1,000m. The Hydropotes inermis of Artiodactyla and Rattus norvegicus of Rodentia were different in the type of orders, but they had the similar habitat characteristics with the coniferous forest and loam. On the other hand, four orders such as Tubiflorales, Liliales, Ericales, and Rhamnales in the rare and endemic plants were showed high occurrence rate in the organic matter between 4 and 6%. The Rodgersia podophylla of Rosales and Gastrodia elata Blume of Microspermae were different in the type of orders, but they had the similar habitat characteristics with the stand factor and soil factor.
