“…In Bangladesh, the endeavour of exploring new plant species is continuing, and as a consequence, the taxonomists of this country have published a notable number of new records in the last few decades, though sporadically. Likewise, after the publication of the Encyclopedia of the Flora and Fauna of Bangladesh (EFFB) (Ahmed et al 2008(Ahmed et al -2009(Ahmed et al , 2009Siddiqui et al 2007), around 281 new records of Angiosperms have been published, mostly with information on the specific distribution of the recorded taxa (Rahman and Hassan, 2017;Islam and Rahman, 2017;Sourav et al, 2017;Ara and Hassan, 2018;Rahman and Uddin, 2018;Uddin, 2018;Alfasane et al, 2019Alfasane et al, , 2020Hossain et al, 2020;Sultana and Rahman, 2021;Hossain et al, 2022;Rahman et al, 2022;Sultana et al, 2022;Uddin and Uddin, 2022). It means that in the last 13 years, around 7.78% of the EFFB's record of 3611 species and 5.6% of Khan (1977)'s estimate of 5000 species of Angiosperms to exist within the territory of Bangladesh have been newly added to the flora of this country.…”
