본 연구는 지리산국립공원 4개 계곡지역의 관속식물상을 2012년 5월부터 2013년 11월 까지 총 40회 조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구 대상지역에 분포하는 관속식물의 출현은 대성골에서는 103과 339속 367종 4아종 42변종 6품종 419분류군, 피아골에서는 98과 267속 385종 5아종 51변종 8품종 449분류군, 칠선계곡에서는 105과 302속 448종 3아종 45변종 7품종 503분류군, 뱀사골에서는 98과 252속 361종 3아종 43변종 9품종 416분류군으로 모두 117과 391속 647종 5아종 74변종 9품종 735분류군이 출현하였다. 4개 계곡 지역에서 산림청지정 희귀멸종식물은 30종이 출현하였으며, 특산식물은 14과 18속 20종 20분류군이 출현하였고, 식물구계학적 특정식물은 Ⅰ등급에서는 53종, Ⅱ등급에서는 24종, Ⅲ등급에서 는 29종, Ⅳ등급에서는 12종, Ⅴ등급에서는 10종, 총 128종류가 출현하였다.
To investigate the distribution of vascular plants growing at four major valley of Jirisan National Park such as Daesung-valley, Pia-valley, Chilseon-valley, and Baemsa-valley, we surveyed a total of 40 times from May in 2012 to November in 2013. The flora of Daesung-valley was classified as a total of 421 taxa comprising of 103 families, 339 genus, 367 species, 4 subspecies, 42 varieties, 6 forma. A total of 449 taxa in the Pia-valley were investigated as 98 families, 267 genus, 385 species, 5 subspecies, 51 varieties, and 8 forma. The flora of Chilseon-valley was classified as a total of 503 taxa consisting of 105 families, 302 genus, 448 species, 3 subspecies, 45 varieties, and 7 forma. The Baemsa-valley was consisted of a total of 735 taxa comprising of 98 families, 252 genus, 361 species, 3 subspecies, 43 varieties and 9 forma. The korean rare and endangered plant species designated by the Korea Forest Service were investigated as 30 species from four major valleys. The endemic plants in Korea were investigated as 20 taxa comprising of 14 families, 18 genera, and 20 species. The floristic special plants were a total of 128 taxa such as 53 taxa in class I, 24 taxa in class II, 29 taxa in class III, 12 taxa in class Ⅳ, and 10 taxa in class Ⅴ.
