As an endemic species in Korea Adenophora erecta S. Lee, Joongku Lee et S. Kim is distributed in a restricted area of Ulleung island. In this study, we confirmed finding only about 60 individuals in Taeha-ryeung in an area measuring 900 m² in size. These data together with previously collected data indicate that this species is in the “Critically Endangered (CR)” category based on taxon evaluation criteria of the IUCN. We propagated this species using seeds of transplanted plant from a site where this plant was first found. The best seed germination was observed in a batch treated with GA3 (500 mg/L) under the sun light and the best plant growth was observed in a bed of nursery soil and rough-sand soil (1:1). The original habitat of A. erecta in Sukpo-dong was successfully restored by transplantation of the propagated young plants.
