ABSTRACT
Corydalis taxa of Korea were classified as four sections, four subsections and eighteen species, and reviewed taxonomically except C. bungeana, C. buschii, C. gigantea var. gigantea, C. gigantea var. macrantha growing in North Korea. Among the examined taxa, Korean endemics were recorded as six species; C. albipetala B. Oh, C. filistipes Nakai, C. grandicalyx B. Oh et Y. Kim, C. hallaisanensis Le′veille′, C. humilis B. Oh et Y. Kim and C. maculata B. Oh et Y. Kim. The distribution of C. ochotensis Turcz. and C. pallida Pers. were, however, not confirmed in South Korea. Keys to the sections, subsections and species including description of each taxon were provided here.
