Informative report of medicinal plants in three botanical gardens at the eastern area of Korea
Abstract
This study investigated the medicinal plants grown in three botanic gardens in Eastern Korea: the National Baekdudaegan Arboretum, Seoraksan Botanical Garden, and Key-chungsan Botanical Garden. A total of 220 taxa of medicinal plants were identified (128 in the National Baekdudaegan Arboretum, 63 in Seoraksan Botanical Garden, and 73 in Key-chungsan Botanical Garden). The research focused on the plant's traditional medicine name, medicinal parts, and indications, with references cited. The highest number of taxa belonged to the Rosaceae family (27 taxa), followed by Asteraceae, Apiaceae, Lamiaceae, and Asparagaceae. By providing medicinal information alongside general botanical data, botanic gardens can broaden visitor engagement, extending their societal contribution and raising public awareness about plant preservation and utilization.
