Proc. Inst. Bot., Mongolian Academy of Sciences, 25: 53-72. SYNOPSIS AND RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF MONGOLIA Urgamal M.,1 Oyuntsetseg B.,2 Nyambayar D.2 1 Institute of Botany, Mongolian Academy of Sciences; 2National University of Mongolia urgamal@botany.mas.ac.mn; oyuna@num.edu.mn; nyambayar@num.edu.mn Abstract This is a revision of the floristic composition of Mongolia, which was based on Gubanov`s conspectus (1996). It is revealed that 3053 species and subspecies of vascular plants, belonging to 679 genera, 112 families, 39 orders, 14 classes or clades and 5 divisions (according to APG III system) occur in the Mongolian flora in total. One family (Onocleaceae), 17 genera and 338 species have been added and 407 new combinations on the species level have been made since 1996. The currently most species number of followed families: Asteraceae (459 spp.), Fabaceae (354 spp.), Poaceae (258 spp.), Rosaceae (157 spp.), Brassicaceae (155 spp.) and most additions made to the following families: Asteraceae (57 spp.), Fabaceae (52 spp.), Brassicaceae (25 spp.), Poaceae (20 spp.), Rosaceae (18 spp.) and to the following phyto-geographical regions of Mongolia: Mongolian Altai (134 spp.), Khentei (71 spp.), Mongol Daurian (64 spp.), Khangai (44 spp.), Dzungarian Gobi (44 spp.) and Khubsugul (27 spp.). Currently, in total of more 1260 new area records of the about 850 species. The at present includes in total 572 species (18.73%) endemic (151 spp.) and subendemic (421 spp.). The includes to 135 species as “very rare” in the Mongolian Red Book (2013) and 148 species in the Mongolian Red List Book (2011) to the vascular flora of Mongolia. Keywords: Conspectus, Vascular flora of Mongolia, new taxa, new distribution, endemic and subendemic composition of Mongolia and on the distribution of certain taxa in the territory of Outer Mongolia. These data were mainly gathered by the Soviet-Mongolian Integrated Biological Expeditions since 1970, organized by the Soviet and Mongolian Academies of Sciences, and by German botanists worked with botanists from the National University of Mongolia. The main works on the vascular flora of Mongolia (formerly People’s Republic of Mongolia, Outer Mongolia) have been “Key to the vascular plants of Mongolia (with an atlas)” by Grubov (1982) and “Conspectus of flora of Outer Mongolia (vascular plants)” by Gubanov (1996) and some others can be mentioned (Table 1). The conspectus (Gubanov, 1996) summed up new data on the floristic Table 1. Overview of the vascular plant species to the flora of Mongolia Sources and references Maximowciz, C.J. (1859) Grubov, V.I.

Nomenclature is based on Gubanov (1996), APG (LAPG) III (2009), IPNI (2013), WCSP (2013) and APWeb (version 13) etc. The records of new species to the flora are listed for since Gubanov`s (1996) conspectus (Table 3). The Herbarium (UBA) of the Institute of Botany, MAS contains more than 125.000 specimens, and Herbarium (UBU) of the Department of Botany, NUM contains about 12.000 specimens. In total 137.000 specimens represent more than 2745 species of vascular plants belonging to over 640 genera and 108 families. The Database of the Mongolian Flora includes more 3100 species (incl. cultivated plants) of vascular plants belonging to more 690 genera in 113 families (Urgamal, 2012). Specifications to the distribution of species, in 16 phyto-geographical regions Figure 1. Map of phyto-geographical regions of Mongolia (by Grubov, 1982) Results New records of 338 species belong to more 162 genera and 45 families. Also new 17 genera (Berteroa, Boschniakia, Ceratocephala, Dactylis, Litwinowia, Mazus, Milium, Olimarabidopsis, Onoclea, Ornithopus, Pachypterygium, Perovskia, Sibiraea, Sterigmostemum, Strigosella, Turczaninowia, Verbascum) and one family have been registered to the flora of 2 (111 spp.), Rosaceae (39 spp.), Brassicaceae (37 spp.) and Poaceae (25 spp.). The number of species are distributed of following phytogeographical regions of Mongolia: Mongolian Altai (1534 spp.), Khangai (1516), Mongol Dauria (1281 spp.) etc (Table 6). 19 families of previous system are included in other families (#, + sister taxa); 14 families have received new names ($) and one are newly added (+) to the flora of Mongolia. The newly added family is Onocleaceae. (Table 3). The following 13 species and 12 genera of cultivated plants, which are naturalized are included in the species composition: Avena fatua L., A. sativa L., Hordeum vulgaris L., Secale cereale L., Triticum aestivum L. (Grubov, 1982); Ornithopus perpusillus L., Pisum arvense L. (Ulziykhutag, 2003); Verbascum thapsus L. (Darijmaa, 2009); Coriandrum sativum L. (Ligaa, 1996); Anethum graveolens L., Apium graveolens L., Pastinaca sativa L. (Urgamal, 2009, 2013); Lonicera tatarica L. (Ulziykhutag & Darijmaa, 1980; Ochirbat, 2009). Mongolia since Gubanov`s (1996) conpectus (Table 3, 4, 5). Therefore 407 new combinations at the species level have been made. At present, the vascular flora of Mongolia consists of 3053 species and subspecies belong to 679 genera, 112 families, 39 orders, 14 classes or clades and 5 divisions (Table 2). Currently most genus and species number of followed families to the flora of Mongolia: Asteraceae (85/459), Fabaceae (26/354), Poaceae (62/258), Rosaceae (28/157), Brassicaceae (60/155). The following largest genus: Astragalus (132 spp.), Artemisia (102 spp.), Oxytropis (98 spp.), Carex (92 spp.), Potentilla (70 spp.) etc (Table 6). The includes to 135 species as “very rare” in the Mongolian Red Book (2013) and 148 species in the Mongolian Red List Book (2011) to the vascular flora of Mongolia. The includes in total 572 species (18.73%) endemic (151 spp., 4.97%) and subendemic (421 spp., 13.73%) to the flora of Mongolia.
