Welcome to Korean Peninsula Flora

This checklist is a compilation of the native and naturalized pteridophytes, conifers and flowering plants recorded in the Korean peninsula.  

Also, we present comprehensive data for all known type specimens collected in Korea. We have carefully examined all of the original protologue and specimens to confirm the status of type specimens. Our goal is to catalog all Korean vascular plant type specimens by 1945 except a few cases.
