Abstract

The external morphological characters of six taxa of the genus Melampyrum in Korea (M. roseum, M. roseum var. japonicum, M. roseum var. ovalifolium, M. setaceum, M. setaceum var. nakaianum, and M. koreanum) were observed to identify the taxonomic entity. The taxonomically useful characters, confirmed in this study, were as follows; the shape of leaf and bract, the number and location of the setose teeth at bract margin, the shape of cross-section and distribution of hair on the stem, the shape of bract base, the shape and protuberance type of calyx lobes, the color and length of the corolla, and the shape of the capsule. Based on these results, a key to the Korean Melampyrum taxa is provided.
