Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present article focuses on an inventory of angiospermic flora of Rajshahi district. Using traditional techniques data have been collected from the study area during July 2010 to June 2012. In this preliminary assessment, a total of 425 angiosperm species under 321 genera and 108 families were recorded. Habit analysis shows that herbs, shrubs, climbers and trees are represented by 186, 74, 52 and 113 species, respectively. Out of the total number of species 281 were commom, 76 were very common, 57 were vulnerable and 11 were endangered species in the study area.

Keywords: Preliminary Assessment, Angiospermic Flora, Rajshahi District, Bangladesh

Location: Rajshahi district, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-07-2010

End Date: 00-06-2012

Program Area: Conservation and Biodiversity

Commodity: Plant

Objectives:

The present study will be made an inventory of the angiosperm plant species of Rajshahi district, Bangladesh

Methodology:

Angiospermic plant species growing throughout in the Rajshahi district of Bangladesh was carried out from July 2010 to June 2012. A total of 425 species under 321 genera and 108 families were collected and identified. A survey on the determination of the location of different species was made and a list was prepared to be acquainted with the plants available in the selected area. All the species were noted and time to time the areas were visited to see when they flowered. For the morphological study, different types of species were examined again and again in order to see if there was any variation or not. They were collected at flowering stages and herbarium specimens were prepared as vouchers. In this practice standard method was followed. In this regard different types of plant species were collected from different habitats. All the collected plant specimens were kept in the Herbarium, Department of Botany, and University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The collected specimens were identified studying related taxonomic books and booklets from the library of Rajshahi University. The major collected materials were identified and described up to species with the help of and (10). In some cases [5], [1], [15-17] and [11] were consulted. For the current name and up to date nomenclature [5], [1] and [9] were also consulted.
