Ŭnjŏng-guyŏk, or Ŭnjŏng District is one of the 18 guyŏk that constitute Pyongyang, North Korea, known for its scientific facilities.[2] The district was named as such to honor the "benevolent affection(Korean word is Unjong)" and love of the Kim family towards the country's scientists.[3]
History[edit]
During the Joseon Dynasty,the regions that form the modern district were part of Ryongakbang of Pyongyang and Sunchon County. In 1896,it became a myeon of two different subdivisions, Pyongyang and Sunchon. The district was originally created in 1995 from parts of the region of the city of Pyongsong(which were Doksandong,Paesan-dong,Songryongdong, and Jikyongdong).[2]
Administrative divisions[edit]
As of 2002,Ŭnjŏng-guyŏk was divided into 4 tong (neighbourhoods):[2]
- Kwahak 1-dong 과학1동(meaning science)
- Kwahak 2-dong 과학2동
- Paesan-dong 배산동(named after the Mountain called Paesan)
- Kwangmyŏng-dong 광명동(meaning bright light, suggesting a bright future brought by the scientists[4])
In 2014, these administrative divisions seem to have gone through an unexpected change before 2014, as North Korea mentions Ulmildong (을밀동) and Wisongdong (위성동) as the district's neighbourhoods in the news about a high tech district being designated in the region instead of Kwangmyŏng-dong.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
