AN UPDATE OF VASCULAR PLANTS IN MONGOLIAN FLORA

The first flora of Mongolian, 555 genus and 1897 species of 97 families of vascular plants was compiled by Russian botanist V.I. Grubov in 1955; also 599 genus and 2239 species of 103 families (Grubov, 1982); 625 genus and 2443 species of 122 families (N. Ulzijkhutag, 1989); 662 genus and 2823 species of 128 families (Gubanov, 1996); 2930 species and about 680 genus of 130 families (Ulzijkhutag & Kamelin, 2005); about 3050 species (Dariimaa & al., 2010). The Herbarium UBA of the Institute of Botany, Mongolian Academy of Sciences contain in total more than 123.0 thousand specimens of herbarium of algae, fungi, lichens, mosses and vascular plants, which represents 2739 species of vascular plants belonging to more 610 genera and more than 110 families. The currently registration in of total almost 3126 species and 684 genus of 112 families which belongs to 39 orders, 14 classis or clades and 5 divisions of the vascular plants in Mongolian flora (Urgamal, 2014). The current Mongolian flora are contains 13 families of Ferns; 3 families of Gymnosperms; 97 families of Angiosperms (incl. 1 family Nymphaeaceae Salisb.; 17 families of Monocots; 4 families of Commelinids; 1 family Ceratophyllaceae Gray of Probable of sister eudicots; 4 families of Eudicots; 17 families of Core eudicots; 29 families of Rosids and 24 families of Asterids). We are reported for following list of not accepted name records of 33 families in the Mongolian flora: Alliaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Asphodelaceae, Aspidiaceae, Athyriaceae, Botrychiaceae, Callitrichaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Convallariaceae, Cryptogrammaceae, Cuscutaceae, Dipsaceae, Empetraceae, Fumariaceae, Hemerocallidaceae, Hippuridaceae, Huperziaceae, Hypecoaceae, Hypolepidaceae, Lemnaceae, Limoniaceae, Monotropaceae, Najadaceae, Parnassiaceae, Peganaceae, Pyrolaceae, Sinopteridaceae, Sparganiaceae, Trilliaceae, Vacciniaceae, Valerianaceae, Verbenaceae, Zannichelliaceae. However families modified after new name replaced of the following families are: Acoraceae, Amaryllidaceae, Cleomaceae, Cystopteridaceae, Dennstaedtiaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Hydrocharitaceae, Montiaceae, Ophioglossaceae, Phrymaceae, Pteridaceae, Tofieldiaceae, Xanthorrhoeaceae. Also only one and some genus enclosed to the other families and there in Acoraceae [incl. genus Acorus from Araceae], Cystopteridaceae [incl. genus Cystopteris from Athyriaceae], Lamiaceae [incl. Caryopteris from Verbenaceae], Montiaceae [incl. genus Claytonia from Portulacaceae], Phrymaceae [incl. two genus Dodartia, Lancea from Scrophulariaceae], Tofieldiaceae [incl. genus Tofieldia from Melanthiaceae]. The two genus from family Scrophulariaceae (Limosella, Scrophularia left into this family) and vastly genus excluded to the family Orobanchaceae (incl. more genus Castilleja, Cymbaria, Euphrasia, Odontites, Pedicularis, Rhinanthus), Plantaginaceae (incl. genus Lagotis, Linaria, Veronica, Veronicastrum), Phrymaceae (incl. genus Dodartia, Lancea). The largest 10 families are belongs to many genus of Mongolian flora: Asteraceae (incl. 88 genus), Poaceae (incl. 60 genus), Brassicaceae (incl. 60 genus), Apiaceae (incl. 37 genus), Fabaceae (incl. 29 genus), Amaranthaceae (incl. 28 genus), Rosaceae (incl. 26 genus), Lamiaceae (incl. 24 genus), Caryophyllaceae (incl. 23 genus), Boraginaceae (incl. 22 genus) and only one genus included with 49 families (almost 43.5% in all families). Now we are working to revise and produce checklist of all genus and species by Gubanov`s conspectus (1996) and after to finish and will be to inform for new update full list in the Mongolian flora soon. The comprehensive checklist of Mongolian vascular plants includes description of all legitimates of each species with a basionym, homonym and full synonymy name’s. The checks on taxonomy and nomenclatural data records of the families in Mongolian flora in the database and professional plant taxonomic were recent compared with websites in APG III system (last updated by April, 2012), W3 Tropicos of Missouri Botanical Garden (2014); International Plant Names Index (IPNI, 2014); World Checklist Selected Plants, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, (WCSP, 2014); Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, 2013), The Plant List. Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (2014); The Linear Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (LAPG III, 2009) and a linear sequence of the families in APG III system and Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) 2012, online database of USDA.
