ABSTRACT
A new species of Polygonatum (Liliaceae), P. infundiflorum Y. S. Kim, B. U. Oh & C. G. Jang was described from Is. Pungdo, Kyoˇnggi-do located in the central part of Korea. This species belongs to the series Polygonatum and is similar to P. odoratum var. pluriflorum and P. thunbergii. This species, however, is distinguished from the two latter species by the characteristics in the stem type, the absence of papillae on midvein of abaxial surface and margin of leaf, the colors and shapes of the perianth, the shape of filaments, the distribution patterns of papillae and trichomes on the surface of filament, the ratio of anther length to filament, and the length of pedicel. A key to P. odoratum var. pluriflorum, P. thunbergii, P. grandicaule including the new species in Korea is provided.
