Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An annotated checklist of the angiosperm genetic resources of Bangladesh Tea Research Institute (BTRI) was prepared to provide information on the plant diversity it contained. The study revealed that a total of 199 plant species under 155 genera and 69 families were present in BTRI campus. The dicotyledonous plants consists of 168 species with 127 genera and 57 families, and the rest (31 species of 28 genera and 12 families) under the monocots. Both at family and species level, Leguminosae ranked top with 20 genera and 29 species followed by Gramineae with 9 genera and 11 species. There were 38 families, each of which are represented by only single genus, and 35 families which are represented by single species in each. According to their use, plants were classified into twelve major utility groups. Some of the rare and endangered plants species of Bangladesh have also been conserved in this institute. It might be concluded that by planting the maximum number of plant species, particularly the rare and endangered plants with the proper care, this institute could also be emerged as a unique centre for plant conservation, education, research and information relating to plant biodiversity.

End Date: 00-06-2007

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Tea

Objectives:

1. To indicate the plant diversity and to prepare a document on plant holdings of the BTRI.

Methodology:

To exploratory and to ascertain the plant holdings of Bangladesh Tea Research Institute (BTRI) and Bilashcherra experimental farm of this institute, a detailed survey has been conducted. This work consisted of basic methodological approaches and survey. The plant resources of the study area were listed and recorded with their uses, and every species was identified separately. The major floristic works consulted. The families, genera and species are arranged alphabetically.
