Abstract Changes in botanical names of flowering are an issue which comes up from time to time. While there are valid scientific reasons for such changes, it also creates some difficulties to the floristic workers in the preparation of a new flora. Further, all the important 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 the study of 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 counterpts of the plants included in the first two volumes of the flora, on the basis of recent standard taxonomic literatures. In this, the unresolved & controversial names are not touched & only the confirmed ones are taken into account. In the process new names of 470 (four hundred & seventy) dicotyledonous plant species included in the concerned flora are found out. Key words : Name changes, Flora of Assam, Dicotyledonus plants, floristic works.

Introduction common type of name change happens when advances in our botanical knowledge lead to reclassifications. All Scientific names of plants change for various reasons, the scientific plant names generated by taxonomists are most of which fall into three main categories. The first based solely on hypotheses. A taxonomist, often in the two are nomenclature and misidentification. In case of distant past, proposed that a newly discovered plant the nomenclature, names changes are based on the rule should be classified as a member of a particular , of priority of publication. This rule, stipulated in the ICBN based on the similarity of morphological characteristics (International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi & shared by other members of that genus. This naming Plants now), states that if a species has been named was usually based on the hypothesis that the plant in more than once, the first correctly published name is the question was related to other similar-looking plants with one that must be used; all others become unused similar names—those in the same family or genus. synonyms. A long-established name can sometimes be Taxonomists have classified plants based on the perceived replaced by an earlier published name, if new details evolutionary relationships among them. All species in a emerge about the order of publication. Sometimes the genus must be more closely related to each other than name of an economically important or otherwise well they are to species in other genera. In the best-case known plant is conserved for use even though, it is scenario, a species consists of all descendants of a technically incorrect. Conservation is a formal process common ancestor. Recently, new taxonomic information that requires a decision at an International Botanical has accumulated in an accelerated fashion since the Congress. In case of the reason of misidentification, plants advent of DNA sequencing, and that has resulted in a are sometimes brought into cultivation, propagated and recent flurry of reclassification. Comparing DNA widely distributed under an incorrect name. By the time sequences amongst different species has proven to be the misidentification can be rectified the incorrect name an effective way to determine relatedness. As old may already be in widespread use. The third and most 88 Rajib Lochan Borah taxonomies succumb to new understanding, name changes of studying this flora is that the botanical nomenclatures are sometimes required to uphold the principle that names used in this flora are changed very much now. Most of must represent true evolutionary relationships. the plant names included in this flora are now changed Sometimes, to achieve the goal of having a taxonomic by newly accepted names. Therefore, these names are group represent an evolutionary lineage, a genus or family now regarded as synonyms. Floristic workers have to that does not meet these criteria must be split apart. In always search for newly accepted names in more recent other cases, mergers bring about the desired results. literatures, whenever they try to prepare a new flora of a Similarly, many species have been transferred from one certain region, though the plant may be already present genus to another. Even modern , however, has in a different name in “Flora of Assam”. Therefore, an its pitfalls and disagreements emerge about interpretations attempt has been made here to find out & enlist all of plant names and relatedness. In the world of DNA confirmed new names of the plants against their old sequences, the judgment and experience of taxonomists synonyms with author citations. The attempt is fully based still plays an important part in determining the names on taxonomic literatures, which aims at solving the name assigned to plants. Therefore, plant names will continue change related difficulties of the plants included in the to change for the reasons described above. “Flora of Assam, Vol:I(Part 1-2:1934-36) & But because of name changes, various difficulties Vol:II(1938)”. arise in the preparation of new floras after the classical Materials and Methods field survey. The floristic worker may identify a specimen in a herbarium where plants are in old name, but whenever The procedure followed here is a literary one. The the worker search in literature he finds that the name is standard recent taxonomic literatures (Bennet, 1987; changed and a new name is already accepted as an Bhagawati et al., 2006; Chowdhery et al., 2009; established one. Then the references for the new name Chowdhury, 2005; Das et al., 2013; Deb, 1981 & 1983; have to be again searched in new literature for the Giri et al., 2008; Ghosh, 2005; Gogoi, 1997; Goswami, publication record of the new name. Similarly, there is 2003; Hajra, 1996; Haridasan et al., 1985 &1987 difficulty in studying old flora is that; most of the Kartikeyan et al., 2009; Malakar, 1995; Rashid et al., monumental floras include plant in old names. Every time 2011; Rashid et al., 2012; Sarkar, 1993; Sarma, 1989; a plant name included in old flora has to be confirmed as Sharma et al., 1993; Singh et al., 2000) related to these whether the name is currently accepted one or it has plants are thoroughly searched. In addition, important become a synonym of a newly accepted name. taxonomic resources at the internet (JSTOR, EFLORAS, Sometimes a plant may be included in many different GRIN/NPGS, IPNI, , MMPND, names in different floras making the enumeration process TROPICOS, GBIF, PFAF, Sp2000, USDA PLANTS, painstacking.
