This review is to appraise plant resources of Bangladesh. Contributions to the inventory, flora writing and establishment of National Herbarium in the country are discussed. The progress of Published Flora of Bangladesh since its independence with family name, number of genera and species including contributors‟ name is mentioned. Contributions of the botanists of the Dhaka University (DU), Chittagong University (CU), Jahangirnagar University (JU), Rajshahi University (RU), Bangladesh Forest Research Institute (BFRI), Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR), Asiatic Society of Bangladesh and other institutions in botanical explorations and inventory of the flora are also mentioned. Assessment of threatened taxa, medicinal plant diversity, new discovery, new records, endemics, and production of Red Data Book are also considered as valuable entry in this study. J. Biodivers.

Present paper reports observations on the digger wasp Cerceris tuberculata (Villers, 1787) (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae), listed in Red Data Book of Ukraine, its parasitoids and prey. The observations revealed two parasitoids associated with this wasp: a cuckoo wasp Hedychrum virens Dahlbom, 1845 (Chrysididae) and velvet ant Nemka viduata viduata (Pallas, 1773) (Mutillidae). The host-parasitoid association of this velvet ant and C. tuberculata is provided for the first time. Four species of weevils were registered as a prey of C. tuberculata, three of them are given for the first time herein. New records of the species from Zaporizhzhya and Kherson Regions are provided; the species is reported from Zaporizhzhia Region for the first time.

<p><strong>Abstract. </strong>We herein provide an updated checklist of 33 amphibian species from Phu Yen Province, Vietnam. Eight of them are reported for the first time from this province, namely <em>Ophryophryne gerti, O. hansi, Xenophrys major, </em><em>Glyphoglossus molossus, Kaloula indochinensis, Microhyla berdmorei, M. nanapollexa, </em>and <em>Amolops spinapectoralis.</em> Additional data of morphological characters of afore mentioned species were also provided. The number of amphibian species recorded was highest from Tay Hoa district (18 species), followed by Song Hinh district (15 species), Dong Xuan district (10 species), Tuy Hoa city (8 specise), Son Hoa district (8 species), Dong Hoa (4 specise), and Tuy An district (3 species). In terms of conservation concern, three species are listed in the IUCN Red List (2016) and one species is listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book (2007). </p>

The article presents new data on the distribution in the territory of Western Altai of 20 species of vascular plants from the families Asteraceae, Betulaceae, Boraginaceae, Crassulaceae, Huperziaceae, Grossulariaceae, Lamiaceae, Onagraceae, Orchidaceae, Papaveraceae, Polygonaceae, Ranunculaceae, Rosaceae, Saxifragaceae и Violaceae. All of them were collected in the highlands of the Korgon Range within the Altai Territory. Of these, Potentilla crebridens is reported for the first time for the Altai Territory and Western Altai; for other species, new localities are indicated. For the first time for the Korgon Range within the Altai Territory, Saxifraga terektensis, Viola tigirekica are presented, and the exact location of Potentilla nivea is noted. New localities of rare and protected species were discovered: Callianthemum sajanense, Huperzia appressa, Pyrethrum alatavicum, Saussurea baicalensis, Scutellaria altaica. For each species, the general distribution, ecology data are given, for some species, notes on the difference and differentiation of them from the closest taxa are indicated. If necessary, the locations of the species previously registered in the Western Altai are indicated. For the species included in the “Red Data Book of the Altai Territory”, we provide an information on the approximate number of individuals in the found populations. Based on the analysis of herbarium material, we exclude Potentilla nervosa from the list of flora of the Altai Territory.

This paper presents some results of research on family Lauraceae in Pu Mat National Park, Nghe An province, from 2015 to 2017. Total 90 species belonging to 13 genus of Lauraceae family were collected and identified. There were1 genera and 22 species found as new records for the plant list of Pu Mat published in 2017. Cinnamomum was the richest genus (26 species), then followed by Litsea (24 species), Lindera (8 species), and other genera (1 to 6 species). In Lauraceae of Pu Mat National Park there are 4 threatened species listed in the Red Data Book of Viet Nam (2007) are Cinnamomum parthenoxylon, Actinodaphne elliptibacca, Cinnamomum balansae, Cinnamomum cambodianum. The number of useful plant species of the Lauraceae is categorized as follows: 60 species for timber, 50 species supply essential oil, 34 species as medicinal plants, 13 species for ornamental, 3 species for edible and ornamental. The Spectrum of Biology (SB) of the Lauraceae in Pu Mat is summarized, as follows: Ph% = 11.11%Mg + 50.00%Me + 36.67%Mi + 1.11%Na + 1.11Pp. The Lauraceae in Pu Mat National park are mainly comprised of the tropical element (37.78%), endemic element (57.78%), temperate element (2.22%) and crops element (2.22%).

This research was conducted to assess the diversity of medicinal plant resources in special use forest, Sop Cop district, Son La province.By traditional botanical research method that we  carried  out since July 2019 to March 2020.The results showed that, there were 389 species of medicinal plants belonging to 294 genera and 109 families of 4 divisions of vascular plant. There were 10 families with the high number of species. The medicinal plants were used differently by the Kho Mu ethnic to treat 18 groups of diseases, of which the plants were used to treat gastrointestinal diseases had the highest percentage of species, 102 species (26,22%). In the parts used as medicine, leaves are most used accounting for from 26,74%. The whole trees and roots were used also quite large, including whole tree with 77 species, roots with 66 species. There were 28 medicinal species (accounting for 7,19%) that had been identified in the Vietnam’s Red Data Book (2007), have 18 species listed in the Vietnam’s Red List of Medicinal Plants,that wrote by Nguyen Tap (2019)  and 12 species listed in the Governmental Decree 06/2019/NĐ-CP. These species had limited individuals that need to have policies for conservation and development.

Research on plant diversity for non-timber forest products (NTFPs) at Dakrong Nature Reserve, Quang Tri province. The study results have recorded 477 species, 325 genera, 119 families belonging to 5 vascular plant divisions, with Magnoliophyta accounting for 96.01% of the total number of species. The ten most diverse families of species have been identified. They are harvested from the forest to serve the lives of people and to sell. Useful plant resources comprise fibre plants 21 species (4.40%), medicinal plants 375 species (78.62%), foods plants 74 species (15.51%), aromatic plants 80 species (16.77%), ornament plants 124 species (26.00%), and plants for other products 36 species (7.55%). There are 29 species listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book (2007) and Decree 06/2019/ND-CP. The research results are the basis for the Dakrong Nature Reserve to manage and sustainably use plant resources for non-timber forest products in the study area.
