Fraxinus chiisanensis
Species of plant in the family Oleaceae
Fraxinus chiisanensis, the Jirisan ash,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Oleaceae, native to South Korea.[2] With only about 20,000 mature trees found in nine locations, it is assessed as Endangered due to severe population fragmentation, and some logging pressure.[1] In spite of its Endangered status, it is still dominant in those streamside mountain forests where it does occur.[4]
