To understand the current status of medicinal plants planted in the Medicinal plants Garden of Hongneung Arboretum, we studied field and literature surveys. In the garden, there were 257 taxa in 86 families. Most common orders of those plants were Asterales, Rosales, Ranunculales, etc. And we listed up the Korean names, scientific names, Chinese names, herbal medicinal names, medicinal parts, and indications of the plants. The 158 taxa were included in the pharmacopeias of east-Asian countries, and 72 taxa were contained in herbal medicine textbooks, but the medicinal records of 27 taxa were not found. In the future, these plants shall be correctly identified, and appropriate names shall be written on the labels. And it will be more useful if the medicinal information of those plants is provided on the labels.
