본 연구는 금성산의 관속식물상을 밝히고 주요 식물들의 분 포를 조사하였다. 2015년 7월부터 2016년 6월까지 총 30회에 걸쳐 수행되었으며, 그 결과 관속식물은 112과 358속 417종 8아종 48변종 8품종 2교잡종으로 총 483분류군이 확인되었다. 본 조사에서 발견된 483분류군 중에서 국립생물자원관 지정 적색목 록식물이 3분류군, 국립수목원 지정 희귀식물이 8분류군, 한반 도 고유종이 4분류군으로 조사되었다. 또한 식물구계학적 특정 식물은 29분류군, 귀화식물은 42분류군, 귀화율은 8.6%이었다. 관속식물의 유용도는 식용이 190분류군(39.3%), 목초용이 162분류군(33.5%), 약용이 154분류군(31.8%), 관상용이 58분 류군(12.0%), 목재용이 14분류군(2.8%), 공업용이 2분류군(0.4%) 그리고 섬유용이 5분류군(1.0%)으로 나타났다.
This study was carried out to investigate the flora of Geumseongsan Mt. (Geumsan-gun · Chungnam). The vascular plants were collected 30 different times, from July 2015 to June of 2016. The results showed that there were 483 taxa in total, included 112 families, 358 genera, 417 species, 8 subspecies, 48 varieties, 8 forms and 2 hybrids. Of these vascular plants, red-list species managed by the Ministry of Environment of Korea included 3 species, and 8 species Korea Forest Service. The endemic species to Korea were identified to 4 species. There were 29 taxa specially designated floristic regional indicator plants by the Ministry of Environment of Korea. The alien plants were identified as 42 taxa, and their naturalization ratio was 8.6%. Usage of 483 taxa were consisted of 190 taxa (39.3%) of edible plants, 162 taxa (33.5%) of pasture plants, 154 taxa (31.8%) of medicinal plants, 58 taxa (12.0%) of ornamental plants, 14 taxa (2.8%) of timber plants, 5 taxa (1.0%) of fiber plants, and 2 taxa (0.4%) of industrial plants.
