THE FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA: VOLUME III M. ENAMUR RASHID AND M. ATIQUR RAHMAN Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong-4331, Bangladesh Keywords: J.D. Hooker; Flora of British India; Bangladesh; Nomenclature; Taxonomic Status. Abstract One hundred seventy seven species belonging to 88 genera under 14 natural orders are determined to have been recorded in the third volume of J.D. Hooker’s, the Flora of British India from the area now fall in Bangladesh. These taxa are enumerated with updated nomenclature and current taxonomic status following ICN and Cronquist’s system of plant classification respectively resulting in 169 species under 93 genera and 14 families. Collection locality with collector’s name of each species wherever available, as cited in protologue, is also included. Introduction The plants from the area of Bangladesh included in volumes I and II of J.D. Hooker’s, the Flora of British India have already been determined and reported with their updated nomenclature and taxonomic status following ICN (Rashid and Rahman, 2011, 2012). The present report deals with the treatment of the taxa of the volume III of the Flora of British India (1880-1882). This volume includes three parts (VII-IX) published in 3 different dates consisting of a total of 22 natural orders, 354 genera and 2174 species. In this volume, J.D. Hooker was assisted by an eminent botanist, C.B. Clarke. Hooker alone described 4 natural orders while Clarke alone described 18 natural orders. Among these taxa, described in this volume, 177 species belonging to 88 genera and 14 natural orders are determined to be recorded from the area now in Bangladesh. The objective of the study was to update the nomenclature and taxonomic status of the plants of Bangladesh which have been included in the Flora of British India. Materials and Methods In this study, volume III of the Flora of British India (Hook.f., 1880-1882) has been surveyed for determining the taxa recorded from the area now fall in Bangladesh following Rashid and Rahman (2011, 2012). Bangladesh Gazetteers (Ishaq, 1979) has been consulted to ascertain the collection localities fall within the area of Bangladesh. In case of Bengal and Jainta hills, mentioned as collection localities, relevant literature, such as, Roxburgh (1814, 1820, 1824, 1832), Wallich (1828-1849), Kurz (1877), Prain (1903), Brandis (1906), Heinig (1925), Cowan (1926), Kanjilal et al. (1939), Rhaizada (1941) and Sinclair (1956) have been consulted to confirm whether the taxon belongs to the area now fall in Bangladesh. The current nomenclature of each species was determined by consulting ICN (Voss, 1983; McNeill et al., 2012), Internet sourches (I-III), Brummitt and Powell (1992). Taxonomic status of the taxa were determined by following Cronquist (1981) and to determine the synonyms of respective species relevant literature, viz., Ali (1971), Hara and Williams (1979), Hara et al. (1982), Rahman and Wilcock (1991), Brummitt (1992), Wu and Raven (1994), Rahman and 144 RASHID AND RAHMAN Wilcock (1995), Mabberley (1997), Press et al. (2000), Wu et al. (2005), Ahmed et al. (2008a, b; 2009a, b, c) and updated Kew Plant list from internet sources (I-III) have been consulted. Results and Discussion The search on the third volume of the Flora of the British India revealed a total of 177 species in 88 genera under 14 natural orders from the area now in Bangladesh (Table 1).

The species included in families Vaccinaceae and Styraceae have been transfered to Ericaceae and Symplocaceae respectively. It is determined, so far, that 29 generic names have been changed and 59 remain unchanged. On the other hand, 79 names of species have also been changed and 98 remain unchanged. Hence after updated nomenclatural treatment, 169 species and 93 genera under 14 families are recognized from the area of Bangladesh so far and presented in Table 2.
