Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A taxonomic survey was performed to assess divers ity of plant resources at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU) campus, Dhaka, Bangladesh during August 2011 to October 2012. A total of 8536 (including seasonal) species were recorded in SAU. Plants were represented by trees (11.0 %), shrubs (21.6 %), herbs (61.6 %), climbers (4.0 %) and woody grasses (1.8%). The total number of plants belongs to 257 species under 215 genera and 135 families among these 126, 46, 17, 15, 29, 10 and 14 plant species were existed under 112, 34, 12, 12, 27, 7 and 11 genera also under 57, 25, 8, 9, 25, 7 and 4 family in terms of ornamental, fruit, vegetables, spices, medicinal, timber and plantation crop respectively.
