Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the vascular plants of Namhan River. The period of survey was from March to November on 2012. Vascular plants based on voucher specimen were summarized as 430 taxa including 86 families, 250 genera, 383 species, 2 subspecies, 39 varieties and 6 forms. The rare plant species designated by Korea Forest Service were 13 taxa including Penthorum chinense Pursh, Polygonatum stenophyllum Maxim, and Sparganium erectum L., etc. And the endemic plant species were 8 taxa including Salix koriyanagi Kimura, Clematis trichotoma Nakai, and Carex gifuensis Franch., etc. Furthermore, 56 taxa were listed as specific plant species based on phytogeographical and based on the list of plants which have been approved for overseas delivery, 27 taxa were recorded in the investigated area. The naturalized plants were recorded as 58 taxa, and their Naturalization Ratio and Urbanization Index were recorded as 13.5%, and 18.1%, respectively. 430 taxa listed consists of 174 taxa(40.5%) of pasturing plant, 141 taxa(32.8%) of edible plants, 112 taxa(26.0%) of medicinal plants, 48 taxa(11.2%) of ornamental plants, 11 taxa(2.6%) of stain plants, 7 taxa(1.6%) of fiber plants, 4 taxa(0.9%) of timber plants, 2 taxa(0.5%) of industrial plants and 109 taxa(25.4%) of unknown plants.

본 연구는 남한강 유역의 관속식물을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 조사기간은 2012년 3월부터 동년 11월까지 조사하였다. 그 결과 증거표본에 의한 관속식물은 86과 250속 383종 2아종 39변종 6품종 등 총 430분류군이 확인되었다. 그 중 산림청 지정 희귀식물은 낙지다리, 층층둥굴레, 흑삼릉 등 총 13분류군, 특산식물은 키버들, 할미밀망, 애기감둥사초 등 총 8분류군이 확인되었다. 식물구계학적 특정식물종은 56분류군, 국외반출 승인대상 식물은 27분류군이 확인되었다. 귀화식물은 58분류군으로 확인되었으며 귀화율과 도시화지수는 각각 13.5%, 18.1%로 나타났다. 조사된 430분류군의 유용도는 목초용 자원식물이 174분류군(40.5%), 식용 141분류군(32.8%), 약용 112분류군(26.0%), 관상용 48분류군(11.2%), 염료용 11분류군(2.6%), 섬유용 7분류군(1.6%), 목재용 4분류군(0.9%), 공업용 2분류군(0.5%) 그리고 용도가 밝혀지지 않은 식물이 109분류군(25.4%)으로 나타났다.
