Description
Spleenworts grow on Samdo Island, Jeju. The leaves of this plant spread radically from its stem. The Samdo Island is located 0.45km from the south of the coast of Seoguipo and it is called 'Seopseom’. Spleenworts were once in danger of extinction because many people cut these plants off. However, villagers and researchers have planted them for several years. Since Natural Habitat of Spleenworts on Samdo Island, Jeju is the northernmost habitat where this plant can grow naturally and is also biologically valuable, it is designated and protected as a Natural Monument.
