F., THE FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA: VOLUME-II M. ENAMUR RASHID AND M. ATIQUR RAHMAN1 Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong-4331, Bangladesh Keywords: J.D. Hooker; Flora of British India; Bangladesh; Nomenclature; Taxonomic Status. Abstract Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker in his second volume of the Flora of British India included a total of 2328 species in 416 genera under 28 natural orders (= families) of which 201 species in 104 genera under 20 natural orders are determined to have been recorded 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 nomenclatural treatment revealed a total of 200 species in 109 genera under 25 families to be recognized from the area of Bangladesh. The recorded area and the name of specimen’s collector, as in the protologue of the Flora of British India, are also provided. Introduction 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. A total of 28 natural orders included in these 3 parts where Part-IV included the natural orders from Sabiaceae to Leguminosae (part), Part-V from Leguminosae (part) to Myrtaceae (part) and Part-VI from Myrtaceae (part) to Cornaceae.

Hooker was assisted by five other eminent botanists in describing the taxa of 28 natural orders of this volume. Hooker himself described 6 natural orders and C. B. Clarke alone described 18 natural orders. On the other hand, J. G. Baker, J. F. Duthie, Rev. G. Henslow and Maxwell T. Masters individually described 1 natural order each. These natural orders of the volume-II and their contributors are listed with distribution of taxa in Table 2. In this volume, 20 natural orders are found to have included 201 species in 104 genera from the area now in presently formed Bangladesh. Remaining eight natural orders have no representative species from the area of Bangladesh. 1Corresponding author. Email: atiquerahman125@hotmail.com 174 RASHID AND RAHMAN Table 2.

The recorded area (collection locality) for Bangladesh and collector’s name were determined following the procedure of Rashid and Rahman (2011) and consulting Roxburgh (1814, 1832), Wallich (1828- 1849), Kurz (1877), Prain (1903), Heinig (1925), Cowan (1926), Kanjilal et al. (1934, 1938), Raizada (1941) and Sinclair (1956). The current nomenclatural and taxonomic status of each species was determined as per ICBN by consulting Voss (1983) and Brummitt and Powell (1992). Taxonomic status of the genera and families were determined by following Cronquist’s system of plant classification (Cronquist, 1981). Synonyms were checked by consulting relevant literature, viz., Khan (1972-1987), Hara and Williams (1979), Grierson and Long (1984, 1991), Brummitt (1992), Brummitt and Powell UPDATED NOMENCLATURE AND TAXONOMIC STATUS 175 (1992), Khan and Rahman (1996), Hajra (1997), Mabberley (1997), Press et al. (2000) and Ahmed et al. (2008a,b; 2009a,b,c). Results and Discussion The search on the second volume of the Flora of the British India revealed a total of 201 species under 104 genera and 20 natural orders included from the area now in Bangladesh. After current nomenclatural treatment, the number of species reduced to 200 while the genera and families splited to 109 and 25, respectively. It is determined, so far, that 16 generic names are changed and 88 remain unchanged. On the other hand 129 species names are changed and 72 remain unchanged. Hence, 200 species and 111 genera under 25 families are recognized, so far, from the area of Bangladesh (Table 3). Table 3.
