Abstract
The paper presents the updates on the new species; new regional and new location records since the treatment for “Conspectus of the vascular plants of Mongolia” (Urgamal et al. 2014) listed as new for the Mongolian floristic novelties and reported as well. This article includes the data on new species records for 33 species (2 subspecies and 1 varietes) included 20 genera and 14 families to the vascular flora of Mongolia. One genus (Matthiola) has been added as new to the flora of Mongolia. An annotated checklist of vascular plant species and phytogeography for Mongolia is given. The most made additions of the number of species of following families and genera: Ranunculaceae (12 species), Rosaceae (6 species), Brassicaceae (3 species) families and Potentilla (6 species), Ranunculus (4 species), and Aquilegia (3 species). The most made additions to the following phyto-geographical regions of Mongolia are: Mongolian Altai (11 species), Khentei (10 species) and Khangai (4 species) regions. The includes to new records for 10 species are as “sub-endemic“and one species as “very rare” to the vascular flora of Mongolia.

Mongolia attracts researchers from different countries focusing on biodiversity studies
More or less regular floristic investigations on the territory of the country are being conducted since 1940ths (Grubov 1982; Gubanov 1996; Ganbold 2010; Urgamal et al 2014) continuously bringing new data on the diversity of Mongolian plants [11, 12, 21, 24]
Plant names are cited with author names following Brummitt, Powell (1992) and the International Plant Name Index (IPNI; http://www.ipni.org) along with the citation of the reference where the relevant plant name was published [1, 3]
Summary
Mongolia attracts researchers from different countries focusing on biodiversity studies. More or less regular floristic investigations on the territory of the country are being conducted since 1940ths (Grubov 1982; Gubanov 1996; Ganbold 2010; Urgamal et al 2014) continuously bringing new data on the diversity of Mongolian plants [11, 12, 21, 24]. Intensive field and herbarium studies of last years yielded so considerable amount of new data (summarized in Urgamal et al 2013; Urgamal 2014) that the necessity of preparing an updated checklist became absolutely evident which was done by our scientists shortly afterwards (Urgamal et al, 2014). The new conspectus included 3127 species and subspecies (according to APG III system) of vascular plants compared to 2823 in Gubanov (1996), i. The new conspectus included 3127 species and subspecies (according to APG III system) of vascular plants compared to 2823 in Gubanov (1996), i. e., ca. 11 % in addition, to demonstrate how important and timely work it Proceedings of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences
