Floristic study of Gogunsan Archipelago, Jeollabuk-do, Korea

We investigated the Gogunsan Islands from April 2012 to October 2012 for plant diversity. The vascular plants of Gogunsan Islands were recorded as total 565 taxa, 105 families, 333 genera, 502 species, 3 subspecies, 50 varieties, and 10 forms. Rare plants were observed 9 taxa. Korean endemic plants were 2 taxa, floristics special plants were 18 taxa, and naturalized plants were 72 taxa. Gogunsan Islands flora changes are in process slowly compared to earlier work thus, continuing interest and appropriate measures should be encouraged.
