(Ranunculaceae), a new species from the Republic of Korea.

, a new species belonging to the family Ranunculaceae, from Hallasan National Park in Jeju-do, Republic of Korea, is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to (DC.) Makino, but can be readily distinguished by a thick underground stem, shallowly lobed leaflets, larger flowers, (4-)6 staminodes and conspicuously rugose tuberculate seed surface.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Hydrangeaceae).

is a member of the family Hydrangeaceae. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of was characterized from MiSeq (Illumina Co.) pair-end sequencing data.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers from Tiarella polyphylla (Saxifragaceae).

Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite markers were developed for Tiarella polyphylla in Korea and Japan to study the genetic diversity and genetic structure of the species.

Methods And Results: We successfully isolated a total of nine polymorphic simple sequence repeat loci. These nine loci contained from two to eight alleles per locus.
