Objectives:

The Lalmai supports a moist deciduous Sal forest. It supports a large number of plant species that would contribute to the forest economy of Bangladesh. But the forest of Lalmai hills area does not have any published flora or manual. At the same time this area is vulnerable and needs to be documented and protected immediately. Therefore, the objective of the study was to make a Checklist of Angiospermic Flora of Lalmai Hills, Comilla, Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The present work is based mainly on the fresh materials collected by the authors from the study area through repeated field trips during the year 2001-2002. These are supplemented by the herbarium specimens examined at the Dhaka University Herbarium and Bangladesh National Herbarium. The identification of the specimens was confirmed with the help of Hooker (1872-1897), Prain (1903, 1903a), Brandis (1906), Kanjilal et al. (1934, 1938, 1939, 1940), Khan (1977, 1984, 1985), Deb (1981, 1983) and Matthew (1999, 1999a, 1999b). The families have been arranged according to Cronquist (1981). The genera and species under each family are arranged in alphabetical order. The checklist includes wild, naturalized and planted species.
