All 147 new vascular taxa that are added to the flora of Bangladesh in this study are not included in Flora of British India, Bengal Plants, The Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna of Bangladesh, or Rahman's research publications. These new taxa are categorized into 111 genera and 53 families. A total of 3,956 vascular taxa have been reported for the flora of Bangladesh from this updated compilation. In addition to the seventeen genera that are being reported here as new generic records for Bangladesh, ten taxa that are novel to the world flora have been discovered. According to the study, six families, including Orchidaceae (22 taxa), Acanthaceae (18 taxa), Rubiaceae (11 taxa), Euphorbiaceae (10 taxa), Araceae (8 taxa) and Commelinaceae (6 taxa) contain the highest number of new taxa. Nomenclature, family name, citation and precise locations are listed for each taxon.
