Abstract

An inventory of angiosperm flora of Satchari National Park, located in Habiganj district, is prepared on the basis of collected materials and observation made from November 2008 to December 2009. From the study site, 245 angiosperm species including cultivated and planted in 183 genera under 72 families are documented. Of 245 species recorded here, 86 species are represented by herbs, 46 by shrubs, 73 by trees, 37 by climbers and 3 by epiphytes. The survey has also confirmed the occurrence of seven threatened angiosperm species, one tree fern and one gynosperm in the Park area.

Abstract
An inventory of angiosperm flora of Satchari National Park, located in
Habiganj district, is prepared on the basis of collected materials and observation
made from November 2008 to December 2009. From the study site, 245
angiosperm species including cultivated and planted in 183 genera under 72
families are documented. Of 245 species recorded here, 86 species are
represented by herbs, 46 by shrubs, 73 by trees, 37 by climbers and 3 by
epiphytes. The survey has also confirmed the occurrence of seven threatened
angiosperm species, one tree fern and one gynosperm in the Park area. For each
species scientific name, local name (wherever available), family, habit and
habitat are provided with citation of specimens.
Introduction
Satchari National Park, a segment of the Raghunandan Hill Reserve Forest under
Chunarughat Upazila of Habiganj district, located between 24˚5' to 24˚10' N latitude and 91˚25' to
91˚30' E longitude, is about 130 km northeast of Dhaka, and about 60 km southwest of Srimangol.
It was declared as National Park in 2005 with an area of 242.91 ha. It is the newest among the 17
declared protected areas of Bangladesh (Mukul et al., 2006) and developed by the Forest
Department as part of a co-managed eco-tourism project under its Nishorgo initiative. The semi-
evergreen forest of Satchari National Park forms a part of transition zone between the Indian
subcontinent and the Indo-Chinese ecological region (Sharma, 2006). The vegetation of the Park
area comprises a patch of 120 ha of natural forest and remaining area covered by a short rotation
plantation of Eucalyptus sp. and Acacia sp. and as well as long term plantation of oil palms. The
topography of the Park shows undulating with slopes and hillocks, locally called tila, ranging from
10-50 m height and running from south to north and these are composed of upper tertiary rocks in
which sand stones are largely predominant (Rizvi, 1970). The soils of the Park area are
characteristically sandy loams, and accumulation of humus on the top soil is very low due to rapid
decomposition of debris under moist warm tropical condition (Rizvi, 1970). Soils are more acidic
than in adjoining ecological zones (Mukul et al., 2006). The area enjoys a moist tropical climate
characterized by a period of high precipitation from May to October and six months between
November and April are relatively dry.

A number of studies on the angiosperm flora of different protected areas of Bangladesh have
already been reported (Khan et al., 1994; Rahman and Hassan, 1995; Uddin and Rahman, 1999;
Khan and Huq, 2001; Uddin et al., 2002, 2003; Tutul et al., 2009, 2010; Rahman et al., 2010;
Uddin and Hassan, 2004, 2010). A few publications on the Satchari reserve forest and the Park
area are available, such as, Chowdhury et al. (2004), Mukul et. al. (2006), Uddin and Mukul
(2007) and Sultana (2007). However, most of those publications did not cover the checklist of
angiosperm flora of the Satchari National Park. It is assumed that the Park supports a large number
of native angiosperm species. Conservation significance of such species is very high. Currently
angiosperm flora of the Park area is under threat due to various pressure including anthropogenic
activities. For making proper management plan of the Park, data on the angiosperm species are
essential. In order to provide such information, the present study an attempt has been made to
prepare an inventory of angiosperm flora of Satchari National Park.
Materials and Methods
Floristic survey was carried out in the Satchari National Park at 3-months intervals between
November 2008 and December 2009. The survey covered all habitats including hilltops, slopes,
foothills, valeys and wet areas of the Park. Special attention was given to locate the species
already listed as threatened categories in the country. Flowering or fruiting specimens were
collected and processed using standard herbarium techniques (Hyland, 1972; Alexiades, 1996).
The specimens were identified consulting different Floras viz., Hooker (1872-1897), Prain (1903),
Uddin and Hassan (2004), Siddiqui et al. (2007) and Ahmed et al. (2008, 2009). Specimens
available at Dhaka University Salar Khan Herbarium (DUSH) and Bangladesh National
Herbarium (DACB) were consulted in identifying the collected plant specimens. The updated
nomenclature of the species was followed Siddiqui et al. (2007) and Ahmed et al. (2008, 2009).
Threatened categories of plants were confirmed with the help of Khan et al. (2001). Families are
arranged according to Cronquist (1981). Voucher specimens are deposited at DUSH.
Results
The present study revealed an inventory of 245 species including cultivated and planted in
183 genera under 72 families from the Satchari National Park. The species diversity in the families
varied from 1 to 18. In Magnoliopsida (Dicots), Moraceae is the largest family represented by 18
species, while in Liliopsida (Monocots), Poaceae (Gramineae) is the largest family represented by
12 species. Of 245 species recorded here, 86 species represented by herbs, 46 by shrubs, 73 by
trees, 37 by climbers and 3 by epiphytes. Seven threatened species of Bangladesh (Khan et al.,
2001) were found to occur in the Park area including Amomum aromaticum Roxb.
(Zingiberaceae), Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. (Thymeliaceae), Cymbidium aloifolium L.
(Orchidaceae), Globba multiflora Wall. ex Baker (Zingiberaceae) Holigarna longifolia Roxb.
(Anacardiaceae), Rauvolfia serpentina L. (Apocynaceae) and Steudnera colocasioides Hook. f.
(Araceae). Moreover, thereatened tree fern, Cyathea gigantea (Wall. ex Hook. f.) Holtt. and a

threatened gymnosperm, Gnetum oblongum Mgf. (Khan et al., 2001) were also found to occur in
the Park area. For each species of angiosperm scientific name, local name (wherever available),
family, habit and habitat are provided with specimen citation.
