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]
