Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The family Liliaceae A.L. de Jussieu has been revised for Bangladesh and a total of 34 species with one variant under 16 genera have been recorded. Artificial dichotomous keys to the genera and species have been given. Descriptions have been provided for each taxon, and local names, flowering and fruiting periods have been added wherever available. Out of 34 species, 16 species are native/naturalized and 18 species, including 1 variant, are exotic. Four genera, ten species and one variant have been documented for the first time in Bangladesh.

Keywords: Liliaceae, Systematic studies, Bangladesh

Location: Dhaka University Herbarium (DUH) and Bangladesh National Herbarium (DACB)

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Lily

Objectives:

1. The work was intended to record all the species growing all over Bangladesh in the wild and also cultivated in the garden and in the field and to make a revision of the family for the country.

Methodology:

The present work is mainly based on the fresh materials collected by the first author. The work is also supplemented by the herbarium specimens housed at the Dhaka University Herbarium (DUH) and Bangladesh National Herbarium (DACB). The germplasm of most of the taxa have been collected and planted in the experimental plots of the Dhaka University Botanical Garden for further studies. The collected specimens were identified consulting standard literature and comparing with herbarium specimens available both in the DUH and DACB. The present work is intended to record all the species growing all over Bangladesh in the wild and also cultivated in the garden and in the field and to make a revision of the family for the country. Short descriptions, important synonyms, precise localities and local names of each species are given wherever available along with the correct botanical names. Flowering and fruiting periods (Fl. & Fr.) are also noted. The genera and species are arranged alphabetically.
