| Abstract |
All the major monumental floras of the world have most of the plants included in their old names, which are now regarded as synonyms. In north east India, “Flora of Assam” is an important flora as it includes result of pioneering floristic work on Angiosperms & Gymnosperms in the region. But, in this flora, the same problems of name changes appear before the new researchers. Therefore, an attempt is made here to prepare an updated account of the new names against their old counterparts of the plants included in the 3rd & 4th volumes of the flora, on the basis of recent standard taxonomic literatures. Earlier, the name changes of the plants included in the 1st & 2nd volumes are already published & this is the second part of the work. In this, the unresolved names are not touched & only the confirmed ones are taken into account. In the process new names of 531 dicotyledonous plant species included in the concerned flora are compiled out. |
