Date: 07/01/2025 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source

Pentactina rupicola is a small deciduous broadleaf shrub (30-70cm high).

Its stem is thin and weak, and branches shoot out downward in the central part. A fresh branch is reddish brown and hairless.

Leaves are simple, usually zigzagged, and have short stalks.

The bisexual flowers form a racemose inflorescence at the end of the fresh shoots.

One or two seeds are inside each follicle with no hairs. With fruits ripening around August, they burst open spontaneously along the inner seam of the front and back sides.

Seeds (1mm long) are elliptical and have albumen.

The plant is widely distributed around Mt Kumgang in Korea, and the range of its vertical distribution is 400 to 1 500m.

It is of academic significance as it is a beautiful plant unique to Korea. And it can add beauty to the scenery when planted in parks, pleasure grounds and gardens.

The tree is under the state protection as a living monument.
