RESEARCH ARTICLE Construction of a genus-level rbcL DNA barcode reference library for Korean vascular plants
This study presents the first comprehensive DNA barcode reference library for vascular plant genera native to the Korean Peninsula, based on the plastid rbcL gene. Special attention was directed toward evaluating genera reported as endemic to Korea, with the aim of assess...

RESEARCH ARTICLE Taxonomic reassessment of Korean specimens previously identified as Cyperus pacificus (Cyperaceae): Reporting C. michelianus from Korea
Cyperus pacificus has been the subject of considerable taxonomic confusion since its introduction as a new taxon, based on specimens that were previously identified as C. michelianus. Descriptions of key diagnostic characters, such as the glume arrangement, vary ac...

RESEARCH ARTICLE Taxonomic revision of Paris kwantungensis (Melanthiaceae) based on morphological and molecular evidence
Paris kwantungensis was proposed initially as a monophyletic entity by Miau in 1982, but its taxonomic status remained contentious. We recently collected and studied this taxon at its original locality in Nujiang, Yunnan province, China. A molecular phylogenetic analysis ...
