Updated nomenclature and taxonomic status of the plants of Bangladesh included in Hook. f., the Flora of British India: Volume-I

Abstract

Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker in his first volume of the Flora of British India includeed a total of 2460 species in 452 genera under 44 natural orders (= families) of which a total of 226 species in 114 genera under 33 natural orders were from the area now in Bangladesh. These taxa are listed with their updated nomenclature and taxonomic status as per ICBN following Cronquist's system of plant classification. The current number recognized, so far, are 220 species in 131 genera under 44 families. The recorded area in Bangladesh and the name of specimen's collector, as in Hook.f., are also provided.

A taxonomic study on the angiosperm flora of Trishal Upazila, Mymensingh

“…The collected specimens have been critically studied and examined at the Department of Botany, University of Dhaka. Identifications were confirmed by matching the identified specimens housed at Dhaka University Salar Khan Herbarium (DUSH), and by consulting standard floras and recent literatures (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) . Voucher specimens have been deposited in DUSH.…”

Floristic Diversity of Dhamrai Upazila of Dhaka With Emphasis on Medicinal Plants

“…Identifications have been confirmed by consulting standard literature (Khan 1972-1987, Khan and Rahman 1989-2002, Dassanayake and Fosberg 1980-1985, and matching with identified herbarium specimens housed at DUSH and Bangladesh National Herbarium (DACB). Nomenclature has been updated following recent literature including Ahmed et al (2007Ahmed et al ( -2009) and Rashid and Rahman (2011). The families are arranged (Table 1) according to Cronquist (1981), and the species are listed alphabetically under each family along with their Bangla name, habit, phenology and voucher number.…”

Updated nomenclature and taxonomic status of the plants of Bangladesh included in Hook. f., the Flora of British India: Volume-II

“…The plants from the area of Bangladesh included in the Volume-I of the Flora of British India have recently been puiblished with updated nomenclature and taxonomic status as per ICBN (Rashid and Rahman, 2011). The present study deals with the similar treatment of the Volume II of the Flora of British India (1876-1879) which was compiled by J. D. Hooker with three different parts (IV-VI) published in 3 different dates.…”
