F., THE FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA: VOLUME-I 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 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. Introduction J.D. Hooker compiled his first volume of the “Flora of British India” with three parts published in 3 different dates. Each part includes a number of natural orders. Part I includes the natural order Ranunculaceae to Polygaleae while Part II includes Frankeniaceae to Geraniaceae and Part III includes Rutaceae to Sapindaceae. Hooker was assisted by various botanists in describing the taxa of 44 natural orders of this volume. Altogether 10 contributors including J.D. Hooker were involved in this volume. Publication details along with number of cotributors and distribution of taxa of 3 parts of this volume are mentioned in Table 1. This volume includes a total of 44 natural orders (now treated as families), 98 tribes, 452 genera and 2460 species. Hooker described 5 natural orders by himself, 14 natural orders jointly with T. Thomson, 3 natural orders with M.P. Edgeworth, 1 natural order with T. Anderson while Maxwell T. Masters, Alfred W. Bennett, W.T. Thiselton Dyer, W.P. Hiern, T. Anderson and M.A. Lawson individually described remaining 21 natural orders. Out of these 44 natural orders, 33 were recorded with 226 species from the area now in Bangladesh. These natural orders of the volume-I and their contributors are listed below in Table 2 with distribution of taxa. Materials and Methods The first volume of the Flora of British India (Hooker, 1872) was considered as an initial step to prepare a list of species which have been recorded in it from the area now in Bangladesh. The recorded area (collection locality), collector’s name, etc. were determined by checking the protologue of each species carefully. The recorded localities, as mentioned in the protologues, were confirmed by consulting Roxburgh (1814, 1832) and Wallich (1828-49) which appeared before the Flora of British India. Moreover, literature including Kurz (1877), Prain (1903), Heinig *Corresponding author.

For currect author citation Brummitt and Powell (1992) was consulted. Synonyms were checked by consulting recently published relevant literature, viz., Khan (1972-1987), Hara and Williamms (1979), Grierson and Long (1984, 1991), Brummitt (1992), Sharma et al.

After current nomenclatural treatment, the number of species reduced to 220. While the genera and families splited to 131 and 44, respectively. It is determined, so far, that 35 generic names are changed and 79 remain unchanged. On the other hand, 106 species names are changed and 120 remain unchanged. Hence, 220 species and 131 genera under 44 families. are recognized, so far, from the area of Bangladesh and presented in Table 3. 180 RASHID AND RAHMAN Table 3.
