A new record of <i>Carpesium matsuei</i> (Asteraceae) from Korea

<i>Carpesium matsuei</i> Tatew. et Kitam. (Asteraceae) is reported from Mt. Gwangdeoksan in southwestern Korea for the first time. This species was previously known to be endemic to Japan. <i>Carpesium matsuei</i> is characterized by the following morphological characters: axillary, sessile heads forming raceme-like synflorescences; ovoid to globose involucres; and ovate basal leaves with acuminate apices and cordate bases. We propose a new Korean name, “Gwang-deok-dam-bae-pul,” based on the locality of the collection.
