Abstract
The article presents updates on the new species recorded in the “Conspectus of the Vascular Plants of Mongolia” (Urgamal et al. 2014), and three articles published “Additions to the Vascular Flora of Mongolia – I, II, III (2013, 2014, 2016)” listed as new for the Mongolian floristic novelties and reported as well. The aim of this article is to officially report new records for vascular plants from Mongolia, and this includes the data in total, 28 species (with 2 infraspecies) from 19 genera and 12 families. In addition, Cerastium alpinum, Dianthus repens, Draba alpina, Eritrichium tianschanicum, Gastrolychnis violascens, Iris oxypetala, Papaver chakassicum, Papaver lapponicum, Potentilla turczaninowiana, Stellaria depressa (10 species) were newly recorded in the list of vascular flora of Mongolia. The newly added species come under the following families and genera: Caryophyllaceae (5 species), Ranunculaceae (4 species), and Rosaceae (4 species) families and Potentilla (4 species), Geranium (3 species), and Iris (3 species) genera. The most recent additions to the following phyto-geographical regions of Mongolia are: Mongolian Altai (9 species), Khovd (7 species), and Khangai (6 species) regions. At present, 3191 taxa (including 134 subspecies and 34 varieties) of vascular plants, representing over 684 genera from 108 families, 39 orders, 12 classes, includes 5 divisions, and 3 superclades (Ferns, Gymnospermae and Angiospermae) are registered in Mongolia. Since the last conspectus (Urgamal et al. 2014) was published, 1genera, 64 species and subspecies have been newly added to the flora of Mongolia. The newly recorded 5 species are “endemic“and 9 species are “sub-endemic” to Mongolia. Therefore, currently a total of 125 species (3.91%) are “endemic”, and 532 species (16.65%) are “sub-endemic” to the vascular flora of Mongolia, respectively.

Flora and vegetation research in Mongolia began in the 19th century by researchers who were engaged in the study of the flora of Central Asia
In 1859, a Russian scientist Maximovich made a list of plant species of Amur, which included the vascular plant species of Mongolia for the first time [24]

The Science Committee of Mongolia and the Mongolian committee at the Russian Academy of Sciences, founded in the 1920’s, organized agricultural expeditions in 1947-1951, which played an important role in the study of plant resources of Mongolia [33]. Grubov (1955) compiled the “Conspectus of the flora of Mongolia”, where 1877 species of vascular plants belonging to 552 genera and 97 families were included. The number of species in Mongolian flora increased up to 2239 in V.I. Grubov’s key to vascular plants in 1982 and to 2823 in I.A. Gubanov’s conspectus in 1996 [13-16, 33, 35]. The last conspectus (Urgamal et al 2014) includes 3127 species and infraspecific taxa, belonging to 683 genera of 112 families, registered in the Flora of Mongolia and includes data on their nomenclature, classification and distribution (Table 1)
