Abstract
This paper presents addition of 89 taxa under 64 genera distributed in 32 families for the flora of Bangladesh which are not included in the monumental works Flora of British India, Bengal Plants and Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna of Bangladesh. Updated nomenclature, family name, references to the work and the precise localities have been furnished under each taxon.Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 24(2): 165–171.
Highlights
Bangladesh is a reservoir of plant resources comprising 3,611 angiosperm taxa occurring in the country (Ahmed et al, 2007-2009)
After the momentous contribution made by Ahmed et al (2007-2009) a large number of taxa have been added further, either as new records or as new taxa for the flora of Bangladesh
The present study aimed at preparing a comprehensive checklist of all the new additions published either as new species or new records for the angiosperm flora of Bangladesh since Ahmed et al (2007-2009)
Summary
Bangladesh is a reservoir of plant resources comprising 3,611 angiosperm taxa occurring in the country (Ahmed et al, 2007-2009). Hooker (1872-1897) and Prain (1903) made significant contribution on floristic studies in the Indian subcontinent and reported many species from the territory of present Bangladesh. In the recent past several authors paid attention to explore the flora of Bangladesh and recorded many taxa as new for the country. Mia and Khan (1995) published the first list of angiospermic taxa, not included in the Flora of British India (Hooker, 1872-1897) and Bengal Plants (Prain, 1903), adding a total of 325 species as recorded by several workers up to that time for Bangladesh. The present study aimed at preparing a comprehensive checklist of all the new additions published either as new species or new records for the angiosperm flora of Bangladesh since Ahmed et al (2007-2009)
