This study examines the cultural and ecological significance of Flowers and Folk-lore from far Korea, a modern 'flower botanical book' produced by Florence H. Crane(1887-1973), who came to Korea in 1913 with her pastor husband, and studied Korean wild flowers. The author's wildflower data included watercolor image information of Korean flowers, modern botanical information such as scientific names and common names, and humanistic information collected from local residents, scholars, and recorded in old books about folk tales related to flowers. Florence's book, which organized approximately 148 species of native plants by month and wrote in English, contributed to introducing Korean nature culturally and ecologically to the international society. This study focused on the fact that this book went beyond simply observing, classifying, and describing Korean nature and presented a new perspective on understanding modern Korean nature by including images and indigenous information.
